In the tradition of Dennis Lehane, Walter Mosley and Greg Iles, Attica Locke spins a tale of mystery and intriuge, set in Houston, Texas, during the oil-rich '80s in her debut literary thriller, Black Water Rising. And as it entertains, the book offers a powerful message about race, class, how the decisions you make can change the course of your life, and how the past influences the present. Locke is a writer in film and television who lives in Los Angeles, and her timely book opens up questions asked today about oil and the business practices of oil corporations.
