(Starred Review). Then eight-year-old Tanisha Walker brings Justin a jar half full of coins to pay for him to find her missing brother. Happily, he has the support of a few good people. Louis provides the setting for this tense, powerful thriller from Trafford (the No Time trilogy). Arthur now plans to retire and wants his lawyer son, Justin, to campaign for the seat. Arthur Glass, a member of a prominent African American family, went from fighting in the civil rights movement of the 1960s to decades of service as a US congressman. A bunch of youths of unsavory reputation have disappeared, Tanisha’s brother among them, and the police have done little to locate the boys.
