I very much enjoyed Black Water Rising by Attica Locke, a debut author. It is set in Houston, Texas in 1981. A young black lawyer, Jay Porter, witnesses a killing and then becomes entangled with the people involved with that killing. As Jay investigates, he discovers there is a far larger crime with a lot at stake. Jay and his wife's lives are threatened as he refuses to walk away from it. This is a gripping tale, with reminders of the differences in everyday life that have occurred since that time. 41/2/5
