  As someone who never fit in anywhere because of her odd circumstances at birth, Mesala was lucky to even have lived as long as she had. She's missing a few fingers and toes. She looks more like an anthromorph that didn't quite make it to an entire humanoid appearance. However, not even Mesala can say what she should've become as a creature or human. She has all the usual attributes of eyes, nose, ears, teeth, and hair that a human possesses, but a few other extras were added, such as fox ears and a cat's tail. Thus, she's wary of showing her appearance and tends to remain veiled from head to toe. 
  Currently, she's on a mission to find two missing siblings. She has reason to believe their disappearance is linked with Kiernan's. Although Mesala doesn't know Kiernan all that well, she has more in common with him than any others. Therefore, she's going to continue searching for Kiernan. If anything, she believes that if she finds Kiernan, she'll find her missing siblings. Mesala's lost siblings, two slightly younger brothers, eventually pull Isaac's reluctant sisters into the hunt.

  Race and civil rights in 1963 Los Angeles provide a powerful backdrop in Gary Phillips’s riveting historical crime novel about an African American forensic photographer seeking justice for his jazz musician friend.  
   
  Los Angeles, 1963: African American Korean War veteran Harry Ingram earns a living as a news photographer and occasional process server: chasing police radio calls and dodging baseball bats. With racial tensions running high on the eve of  
  Martin Luther King’s Freedom Rally, Ingram risks ending up one of the victims at every crime scene he photographs. 
   
  When Ingram hears a call over the police scanner to the scene of a deadly automobile accident, he recognizes the vehicle described as belonging to his good friend and old army buddy, the white jazz trumpeter Ben Kinslow, with whom  
  he’d only just reconnected. The LAPD declares the car crash an accident, but when Ingram develops his photos there are signs of foul play. Ingram feels compelled to play detective, even if it means putting his own life on the line. 
   
  Armed with his wits, his camera, and occasionally his Colt .45, Harry Ingram plunges headfirst into the seamier underbelly of LA society, tangling with racists, leftists, blackmailers, gangsters, zealots and lovers, all in the hope of finding something resembling justice for a friend.
