Post #3- 50-235 in the perfect shot (All my blogs are pretty much spoilers)
This book is very interesting, I've never read a book that is a sports book, but equally a mystery . I feel bad for the main character Brian because so many bad things have happen to him throughout this book. I just seemed to find out that this book might be in a time period of 40-50 years ago because of the rascism, but that is just a theory.
Brian's basketball team is one of the best high school team's in the state at 22-2. That is what Brian wants to focus on, basketball, not the murder of his girlfriend Amanda and her family. Mr. Daine, the dad of Amanda's family is accused of the three murders. Amanda's mom, brother and her. The case is almost closed and it looks like Mr. Daine (a former cop) will be officially convited of murder. But Brian has a feeling that it is not Mr. Daine, it is the jogger in the gray sweatsuit, but he is the only one who saw the jogger.
Like Brian doesn't have enough to deal with, his best friend Julius is arrested. But Julius took a wrong turn off the highway after dropping off his parents at the airport into a rich, white upper class neighborhood. It may seem unfair but, he is arrested for being a black kid in the wrong place at the wrong time. Brian goes to bail him out, but his father doesn't want him to get stuck in this mess. Julius does get out of jail after one night, but it was an ordeal nobody wants to revisit.
(If you want more backround or knowledge of this book I would suggest reading my first 2 posts.)
