A brutal murder rocks a city. An innocent man stands accused. And justice is the next to die.

In a city of tolerance and hope, everything came apart. One man died at the hands of another. The next victim was killed by a mob. Now fires burn in the night, helicopters throb through the air, and politicians, lawyers and cops vie for the remnants of power...

Somewhere in the once-placid streets of San Francisco, a young man is on the run, charged by the media with a crime he didn't commit, hounded by demagogues, hunted by a desperate police department. One cop knows that Kevin Shea is innocent of a brutal racial murder. An ambitious politician will use Shea for her own ends. And a down-and-out lawyer is all that stands between Kevin Shea and an even more atrocious crime. For when there's no law left, justice is the only hope...

Someone was giving this and another book away at work (beside a sign saying "free books" on a table in the Anthropology tearoom) and I can't resist the lure of a free book :) It's a pretty averagely-written thriller with an interesting plot, and it's the sort of book that could have been a lot better than it is - having said that, though, it's still an entertaining read (would be a great airplane book!). In "well read" condition with some creasing on the cover.

This book was left on the table at the end of our meetup yesterday, so I picked it up, and will try and release it somewhere interesting on our way back to Christchurch this afternoon.
