"An intense, provocative, and vital crime story that excavates paradoxical dimensions of race, class, sexism, family bonds, and social obligation while seeking the deepest meaning of the law." -- Booklist Originally published posthumously by his daughter and literary executor Julia Wright, A Father''s Law is the novel Richard Wright, acclaimed author of Black Boy and Native Son , never completed. Written during a six-week period prior to his death in Paris in 1960, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the writer''s process as well as providing an important addition to Wright''s body of work. In rough form, Wright expands the style of a crime thriller to grapple with themes of race, class, and generational conflicts as newly appointed police chief Ruddy Turner begins to suspect his own son, Tommy, a student at the University of Chicago, of a series of murders in Brentwood Park. Under pressure to solve the killings and prove himself, Turner spirals into an obsession that forces him to confront his ambivalent relationship with a son he struggles to understand. Prescient, raw, and powerful, A Father''s Law is the final gift from a literary giant.
