【當司法產生偏差 正義該由誰執掌】
-Dear Martin續集

昆恩與傑士提斯同樣來自亞特蘭大，他們成長的地方只隔了一個街區。但數年後，當傑士提斯漫步於耶魯大學的校園時，昆恩卻待在少年輔育院內。
昆恩的故事輪廓透過一系列的片段回憶以及寫給傑士提斯的信漸漸浮現。家庭內的問題與在學校產生的誤會讓昆恩面對與警察對峙的局面，緊張導致的壓力讓他失去了意識。當他回過神來時，手上拿著一把槍，眼前出現的則是一具警察的屍體。是什麼讓一名男孩面臨謀殺的指控？昆恩自己也不曉得。

作者Nic Stone繼上一部作品Dear Martin後再度以黑人男孩的故事探討警察帶有種族歧視的執法行為以及美國的少年司法系統面臨的問題。

An NPR Best Book of the Year * The stunning sequel to the critically acclaimed,  #1 New York Times bestseller Dear Martin. An incarcerated teen writes letters to his best friend about his experiences in the American juvenile justice system.

An unflinching look into the tragically flawed practices and silenced voices in the American juvenile justice system.

Vernell LaQuan Banks and Justyce McAllister grew up a block apart in the Southwest Atlanta neighborhood of Wynwood Heights. Years later, though, Justyce walks the illustrious halls of Yale University . . . and Quan sits behind bars at the Fulton Regional Youth Detention Center.

Through a series of flashbacks, vignettes, and letters to Justyce--the protagonist of Dear Martin--Quan's story takes form. Troubles at home and misunderstandings at school give rise to police encounters and tough decisions. But then there's a dead cop and a weapon with Quan's prints on it. What leads a bright kid down a road to a murder charge? Not even Quan is sure.

"A powerful, raw, must-read told through the lens of a Black boy ensnared by our broken criminal justice system." -Kirkus, Starred Review
