Dear Martin

"Dear Martin" er Nic Stones rå og gribende debutroman om Amerikas raceproblematikker. Justyce McAllister er den bedste elev i sin klasse, og har øjnene rettet imod sin fremtid på et Ivy League-universitet. Men intet af det betyder noget for betjenten, som lægger ham i håndjern. Og selv om han forlader sit rå barndomskvarter, kan han ikke slippe fra sine gamle venners hån og hans nye medstuderendes latterliggørelse. Justyce søger efter svar hos Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Men er de stadig relevante? En dag kommer Justyce kørende med sin bedste ven Manny med musikken skruet højt, højt op og vinduerne rullet helt ned. En hvid betjent, som ikke er i tjeneste, bliver rasende, og pludselig bliver de høje ord afløst af skud... Nic Stones sætter på indlevende og barsk vis ord på Amerikas politibrutalitet og racisme i "Dear Martin", der også viser varme glimt af humor og håb.
