Beautiful Dreamer

An act of terrible violence sets two people running - one white, one black, one a man whose life has been slipping away, the other a boy, stunned by grief but fighting to survive. Chasing them are men who have nothing but vengeance on their minds and another, a law officer, always seemingly a step behind, yet desperate to stop the logic playing itself out. But a chase turns into a journey as two people meet across a seemingly implacable gulf, as they travel towards a destiny they can never have imagined. At the heart of this darkness, however, is a surprising beauty, as at the heart of the beauty is a terrifying darkness.
