Summary

Since calling 9-1-1, the Pakistani manager of the convenience store in Franklin Heights, a neighborhood north of Milwaukee, has not slept. His nightmares are filled with black faces screaming 'I can't breathe anymore.' He should never have called the emergency number for a suspicious bank note. But it is too late, and the media around the world keep reminding him of the appalling death of his passing client, suffocated by the knee of a police officer. The murder of George Floyd in May 2020 inspired the author to write this overwhelming novel
