Adinkrahene: Fear of a Black Planet (Book One) (Volume 1)

IN A WORLD WHERE AMERICA HAS ELECTED ITS FIRST, BLACK PRESIDENT, A NEW GENERATION OF HEROES MUST EMERGE TO UNITE A DIVIDED KINGDOM. When Mississippi Senator Kyle Shuler announces his bid to unseat presidential incumbent Herbert Newsom, America's first, black president, Washington Post political reporter Jonathan Fraiser is miffed. He knows Senator Shuler's dirty, little secret - that he and two of his friends murdered an elderly, black woman as teenagers. But Jonathan isn't the only person disturbed by Shuler's announcement. His longtime friend Selina Giles, an FBI agent, was eleven years old when Shuler slit her grandmother's throat. Now, Jonathan and Selina must join forces as Adinkrahene agents to prevent a Jim Crow criminal from becoming the leader of the free world. In July 2015, this title was selected as a finalist (one of three) for a Phillis Wheatley Book Award (in the First Fiction category). The Phillis Wheatley Book Award ceremony is held annually at Columbia University in conjunction with the Harlem Book Fair.
