Historia5 out of 5 stars 4
March 31, 1985. Two white patrol officers in search of a gang member followed a pickup truck carrying seven young Black men up a dirt driveway in the Encanto neighborhood of San Diego. Minutes later, gunshots rang out, and the truck's driver, Sagon Penn, fled the scene in an officer's patrol car. Penn was an idealist who believed in the power of Buddhist chants to bring about the oneness of humanity. The two police officers were rising stars in one of the most progressive police departments in the country, yet one that had suffered more officers killed in the line of duty than any other.

Long before George Floyd there was Sagon Penn
Revisado: 08-31-24
It’s March 1985 in Southeast San Diego. A soft-spoken 22 year old Black man is stopped for no reason. After a vicious beating by Donovan Jacobs, a police officer, partnered with Thomas Riggs, Officer Riggs is dead, Jacobs wounded, and a ride along shot.
The author meticulously lays out the facts, two trials, Sagon Penn’s acquittal, and the aftermath to all involved. It’s a tragedy to everyone, except, it seems, to the person who triggered the chain of events.
My only issue with the narrator is La Jolla isn’t pronounced La Holla, :) His overall narration is compelling.

Book 2 of this engaging series didn’t disappoint! Finding a killer when you’re with Sheriff Lane and Ranger Russell is loads of fun. Great narration.

Fantastic find- a must read

I stumbled on this book when an Audible sale came through my email. I went for it because it had a highly rated reader. I had no idea what to expect. It was great luck to also discover a brilliant writer who focused on an African American protagonist. The narrative was gripping, the characters well defined and relatable and I am going to seek out other titles. I’d highly recommend this to anyone who likes well crafted thrillers.
