Atlanta 1950: Auch nach zwei Jahren Dienstzeit wird die Arbeit der ersten schwarzen Polizisten Atlantas täglich von Rassismus bestimmt. Die Cops Lucius Boggs und Tommy Smith haben kaum Befugnisse, und um Ermittlungen durchzuführen, sind sie auf die Hilfe weißer Polizisten angewiesen, die ihre Arbeit aber zumeist durch Schikanen und Willkür behindern. Als schwarze Familien - darunter die von Smiths Schwester - in ein ehemals rein weißes Viertel ziehen, beginnen die Rassenkonflikte in der sich rasant verändernden Stadt zu brodeln. Ein unkontrolliertes Ausbrechen der Gewalt scheint jederzeit möglich. Ausgerechnet in dieser aufgeheizten Atmosphäre werden Boggs und Smith durch eine Festnahme auf die Revierkämpfe zweier Schmugglerbanden aufmerksam. Ihre Ermittlungen führen sie nicht nur zu weißen Drahtziehern, sondern auch ins eigene Umfeld. Bald sind beide persönlich so tief in den Fall verstrickt, dass nicht weniger als ihre moralische Integrität auf dem Spiel steht. Ein hochspannender, vielschichtiger Kriminalroman und zugleich ein atmosphärisch dichtes Gesellschaftsporträt eines gespaltenen Landes, das den Rassismus nie überwunden hat.
