This was the type of book that made me feel like I was the character.
Despite the fact that Baxter‘s job is repetitive monotonous and exhausting there are a few story threads that maintain the tension and anxiety.

This book contains subject matter that go quickly become depressing. The racism, homophobia, and isolation could make this a devastating read, but Mayr find ways to avoid the trappings of some historical fiction featuring black men characters while making it realistic. I could tell that this book was well researched.
