The Brick Slayer by Harold SchechterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This true crime short story is part of the Bloodlands collection created for Amazon. This book recounts the case that would eventually inspire Richard Wright to write Native Son. The length of the book doesn't leave room for much analysis. It is more a recap of the events but enough to give the reader a flavor of the racial tensions that impacted the outcome.
