Here, the seemingly unrelated murders of three young black men in a Southern California working-class city very much like Long Beach send Monk off on a journey to a blue-collar Oregon town where white supremacists are hatching poisonous plans. Phillips's writing might not be as smooth or as graceful as Mosley's, but his energy level and social conscience are every bit as impressive.Read More
