One of the few black kids on his Brighton Beach block, Titus "Crisp" Crespo was raised by his white mother and his Russian grandparents. He has two legacies from his absent father, Mo: his weird name and his brown skin. Crisp has always been the odd kid out, but a fundamentally good kid, with a bright future.
But one impulsive decision triggers a horrible domino effect—an arrest, no reason not to accompany his richer, whiter friend Glynnie on a visit to her weed dealer, and a trip onto his father's old home turf where he'll face certain choices he's always strived to avoid.
As Detective Lex Cole tries to unravel the clues from Crisp's night out, they both find that what you don't know about your past can still come back to haunt you.

The events of one night forever change the lives of a young man and woman and others in this gripping audiobook about the power of a single bad choice. Graham Halstead's biting performance is brimming with understated intensity. He gives voice to a black teenager who runs afoul of the law, a spoiled young woman, a gay police detective, and an autistic investigator and proves up to the multiple challenges. Listeners will have no trouble identifying each character. Titus "Crisp" Crespo is the valedictorian of his high school class, but a bigoted cop sees only a black youth and arrests him for no reason. Crespo's life spins out of control when he meets a rich, white neighbor named Glynnie who convinces him to rebel with near fatal consequences. M.S. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
