Review of The Stones Cry Out By Sibella Giorello ISBN: 0800731603 The Stones Cry Out is an engrossing mystery that grasps readers on page one and doesn’t let go. Sibella Giorello’s debut novel is exactly what one should expect from a Pulitzer Prize nominated journalist. Raleigh Harmon, a new FBI agent, finds herself chasing evidence in a case that no one but her wants to honestly solve. Her supervisor repeatedly requests that she close the case, as Harmon continues to find evidence proving that there is more going on than what is seen on the surface. Harmon’s background in forensic geology proves pivotal in solving what her colleagues consider a nuisance civil rights case, and she is the only one who can prove what really happened when a black businessman and a white detective plummeted from a rooftop in Richmond in front of hundreds of onlookers. It is a race against time to find evidence and willing witnesses. Giorello offers readers a thrilling ride, and an introduction to a character that should be granted an encore appearance in a future novel. The Stones Cry Out will be an excellent high interest text for instructors in criminal justice and related fields, geology, and any course exploring race relations in the South. |
