The investigation draws Rowan towards the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, while Will’s timeline depicts the crisis from within it.
Rowan confronts her wealth and racial identity, while relationships with James, her family and clinic patients expose unequal experiences and opportunities.
Rowan and James investigate the identity of the skeleton using records, interviews, libraries and forensic anthropology.
The historical setting includes racial violence, a death investigated through human remains, racist organisations and occasional mature language.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
