Annalee is a 1920s detective, a black woman who lives in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood and must deal not only with crime but with racial prejudice. After all, this is the heyday of the KKK.
“Double the Lies” is an intriguing mystery, with lots of twists and turns that take Annalee by air to Estes and eventually Telluride. What makes it so engaging is not just the story but Raybon’s depiction of the chilling life of a black woman in the 1920s. Every aspect of Annalee’s life is dictated by her color. She wants to find out about some paintings but can’t go to the Denver Art Museum because it doesn’t admit blacks. Her relationship with the white pilot beings the wrath of the Klan.
Set in the 1950s, with glimpses of mid-century culture , “Stealing” is a beautifully written account of a bi-racial girl trapped in small-town prejudice.Woodrow Bell is a retired Denver police officer and member of a group of old geezers who gather each morning for breakfast at a café in Midnight, Colo. When a priest and member of the group suggests Bell look into a decades-old murder of the daughter of another old guy. Bell says no.
