Blood Betrayal by Ausma Zehanat Khan
3.0
Thank you to #StMartinsPress, #MinotaurBooks, and #NetGalley for providing this #ARC Advance Reading Copy. Expected publication date is November 7, 2023.
Fast paced • Reflective • Police procedural • 3 Stars
In Blackwater Falls, Colorado, veteran police officer Harry Cooper, believing Duante Reed, a young Black, has a gun opens fire killing Duante. He didn’t have a gun, just a can of spray paint. In nearby Denver, a drug raid goes south and a Latino teen, Mateo Ruiz, is also killed.
Pakistani born Inaya Rahman and her boss Lieutenant Waqas Seif have to confront their own prejudices as they investigate the guilt of the perpetrators and their victims. Duante was, to some, a street artist with no prior record, but to others, he was a vandal. Mateo was either in the wrong place at the wrong time, or a dangerous drug dealer. In either case, was lethal force truly necessary?
