Darktown by Thomas Mullen
4.0

This is a historical fiction retelling of the very first black officers hired onto the Atlanta PD.

They are only allowed to carry guns (no squad cars) and walk their beat. When two black officers discover a dead body in "darktown" (the black area of the city) and realize it was the same woman they saw earlier that night with a busted lip in the company of a white man they start investigating her death on their off time.

The Atlanta PD is full of crooked cops and racists how far can they go before they start getting unwanted attention? Is the investigation worth losing their jobs or even their lives?
