La esperada nueva novela de John Verdon, autor del best seller internacional Se lo que estas pensando. La tension ha ido en aumento en White River. El inminente primer aniversario de la muerte de un motorista negro por el disparo de una policia local inquieta a una poblacion economicamente deprimida y racialmente polarizada, enfrentada por discursos incendiarios, manifestaciones airadas y casos de incendios y saqueos. La situacion en White River se vuelve realmente tensa cuando se producen mas muertes en lo que parece ser una escalada de venganzas. Sin embargo, cuando Gurney se pregunta por la verdadera naturaleza de todo este bano de sangre y se centra en aspectos peculiares de cada uno de los homicidios, el fiscal del distrito le ordena desvincularse de la investigacion. Obsesionado con los indicios que no corroboran la version oficial de los hechos, Gurney decide actuar por su cuenta. / Tensions have been running high in White River as it approaches the anniversary of a fatal shooting of a black motorist by a local police officer. The economically depressed, racially polarized city is on edge, confronted with angry demonstrations, arson, and looting. In the midst of the turmoil, a White River police officer is shot dead by an unknown sniper. As the town spirals out of control, local authorities approach Dave Gurney to conduct an independent investigation of the shootings. The situation in White River becomes truly explosive as more killings occur in what appears to be an escalating sequence of retaliations. But when Gurney questions the true nature of all this bloodshed, and zeroes in on peculiar aspects of the individual murders, his involvement is suddenly terminated. Obsessed with evidence that doesn't support the official version of events, Gurney cannot let go of the case. Despite intense opposition from the police, as well as from dangerous fanatics lurking in the shadows, he begins to uncover an astonishing structure of deceptionlearning that nothing in White River it what it seems to be. White River Burning is the most provocative and timely book yet by the author hailed by The New York Times as ""masterly.
