Chapter 42 Summary: “Kill Two Birds With One Stone”

Mandy agrees to meet with Tracy again and fills in some important gaps in Tracy’s understanding of Angela’s investigation of the Pike. She tells Tracy that Angela grew suspicious after Chris started spending time with a new crowd and saying increasingly racist things. Angela then discovered that Chris was a part of a hate group meeting at the Pike on Tuesday evenings. Angela, wanting to uncover the truth about the group, stole a gun from Chris’s car that Chris lent to Scott after taking it from his Uncle Richard’s storage. Angela told Chris she would only return it if he could prove that the meetings at the Pike were harmless. Mandy explains that she believed Angela was killed over the gun, and that Mandy was unable to find the gun to bring it to the police as evidence.

Chapter 43 Summary: “I Ain’t Never Scared”

Tracy calls Quincy and tells him they need to find the gun. Tracy begins tying the pieces of the mystery together, which has implications for both Jamal’s innocence and Daddy’s. She wonders if the gun caused the death of the girl the night of the rally, or if it might even be the gun used in the Davidson’s murders, which would make Richard Brighton a suspect.
