Description
In July 1976, a 24 year-old white woman, Margo Olson, was found in a grave in Stamford, Connecticut, with an arrow piercing through her heart. A few weeks later, Howie Carter, her black boyfriend, was killed by the police. Looking back at what might have happened, the author discovers a Bicentennial year steeped in recession, racism, and violence.
