Why read it?

1 author picked White Man's Justice, Black Man's Grief as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The main character Chester Hines gets caught up in one bad decision after another until he ends up in jail trying to survive. It’s a fantastic story and Goines himself is a classic storyteller who paved the way for endless black authors to pen their street-life experiences.
