A detective is investigating the drowning death of a man and his small child. The catch is that they appear to have drowned in the middle of their high-rise apartment in Chicago. I very much enjoyed the way this story unfolds. It seems like it's going to be a murder mystery at first, but we learn and surmise much of the details fairly early on. Instead, there are other questions we want answered, and those are revealed skillfully. The book has a lot to say about racism, family, friendship, and justice. Some of the very end seemed a bit rushed, but overall it kept me turning pages and was satisfying from start to finish.
