Description

Released from prison as a result of DNA testing, former college security guard Quentin Price must team up with the still-grieving mother of the coed he was accused of killing in order to uncover the truth about her daughter's murder.
------------------------------------------------------------------
From MYSTERY SCENE magazine: "Quentin Price was a college security guard near Binghamton, NY, when he was accused of raping and murdering coed Gwen Crawford. After ten years in prison, DNA proves him innocent. Ironically, Gwen's mother Ruth wants to team up with Quentin to find Gwen's real killer, though her ex-husband, retired cop Jack Crawford, still believes in Quentin's guilt. Complicating the situation is the fact that Quentin is black and the victim white. Even in a quiet place like Binghamton, justice is not colorblind. Racial prejudice played a role in Quentin's quick conviction and still feeds Jack's blind hatred of him. The court system, in a belated attempt to do the right thing, summons black NYC detective Garnell Harris back to his hometown to look into the case with fresh eyes. As Ruth, Quentin, and Garnell investigate, lots of questions arise that need answering. The biggest--whether Quentin could really be guilty after all. Meanwhile, Jack sets in motion his own secret plan to put Quentin back behind bars. The question of whether Jack is harassing an innocent man or exacting a father's justice will churn at readers' insides. Record of Wrongs represents a change in direction from the author's creditable Frank Pavlicek series, and Straka may have found his real strength. A few rough spots near the conclusion aren't enough to spoil the suspense in this first-rate thriller."
