On a summer night in New Haven during 2006, elderly Pete Fields was shot point-blank by a young man. Sixteen-year-old Bobby was erroneously accused of the crime and subsequently sentenced to thirty-eight years in prison. Acclaimed author and New Haven native Nicholas Dawidoff spent eight years reporting on this injustice, and what it reveals about the long-reaching legacies of social and economic disparity. He intertwines the stories of Fields, Bobby, and Major, the likely murderer, to shed light on racism, inequality, and the crisis of incarceration.
