Written during a six-week period prior to his death in Paris in 1960, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the writers process as well as providing an important addition to Wrights body of work.In rough form, Wright expands the style of a crime thriller to grapple with themes of race, class, and generational conflicts as newly appointed police chief Ruddy Turner begins to suspect his own son, Tommy, a student at the University of Chicago, of a series of murders in Brentwood Park. Under pressure to solve the killings and prove himself, Turner spirals into an obsession that forces him to confront his ambivalent relationship with a son he struggles to understand.Prescient, raw, and powerful, A Father's Law is the final gift from a literary giant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598897676576,"sku":"NEW006134916X","price":13.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/8147P5kRlKL.jpg?v=1778455649","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-fathers-law-ps-006134916x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
