This is a mystery novel about this black police detective, names Virgil Tibbs, overcoming racism and prejudice in a small town in Virginia.  Virgil was questioned about being the murderer of a homicide, just because he was black.

 I would give this book a 10/10 because, it shows that no one can hold you up, or show what you’re capable of, but yourself.
