| Description: | Select Guide Rating With the velocity of a thriller, All Involved is an epic story of race, revenge and loyalty during the LA riots. <p><b>That's when it hits me. I'm staring at a war zone. In South Central.</b><br><br>On an April night in 1992, Payasa learns that her older brother has been stabbed to death, his body left out in the road to rot. He was never <i>involved</i>. He was innocent. He didn't even carry a gun. And that messes with the rules, even for Lynwood, even for the streets.<br><br>But it's the first day of the LA riots, and the city is tearing itself apart. Fire-fighters, graffiti artists, nurses and law enforcement – all of them connected by this murder – find themselves caught in the mayhem. Every cop is distracted, and for the people who see the law as an enemy, it's a chance to settle old scores.<br><br>That's just too good an opportunity to miss.<br><br><b>'<i>All Involved</i> is a symphonic, pitch-perfect, superlative novel. It swallowed me whole.' – David Mitchell, author of<i> Cloud Atlas</i></b><br><br><b>'A heart-breaking portrait of a city tearing itself apart. Ryan Gattis has created characters who live on in the imagination long after you have read the final page.' - Paula Hawkins, author of<i> The Girl on the Train</i></b></p> |
