Magic Time
by Marlette, Doug
A terrorist attack on the Institute of Modern Art in New York City triggers memories for a New York City newspaper columnist of a church bombing during the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi. Carter Ransom struggles to put both of these events into perspective as the KKK’s Grand Imperial Wizard is retried for the church bombing. The events from the past are told through a series of flashbacks, but Ransom family secrets from the past are about to come to light. Was there a cover-up involving Carter’s father in the first trial? Magic Time will draw you in with two fascinating stories of the past and present. It may also give you new enlightenments on life during the civil rights era.
