The Stranger in the Park

This is a fiction story which covers a mini-history of life in Los Angeles, California. It begins in the 1920s and ends around 2016. It discusses issues of crime, race relations, and sexual morality. You’ll see how some people dealt with race relations by fighting segregation, fighting integration, blacks passing for white, and mixed marriages. The book pays particular attention to how race affected life within the Los Angeles police and fire departments. See how sexual jealousy caused one of the characters to commit double murder and how he tries to kill a third person. Despite serious themes, I believe the reader will find some comedy.
