Rashin and the Recitation

Rashin joined the others in the recitation they always said before they ate: "We are the invisible hand of justice, the caretakers of humanity, the voice of reason when the world becomes unreasonable." Rashin believed in those words.

About the Book

Anton D. Morris has concocted not only a swiftly-paced suspense churner, he has also constructed a compelling premise about people's lot in life—how they got where they are—and whether or not they have the wherewithal to change life as they know it. Pacific Book Review

Characters and Plot

Rashin is part of a Black secret society. He has a daughter and two sons. Cassandra's a scrupulous lawyer. Jason runs an international company. Horus runs for President of the United States. Horus has wit, charm, voter’s confidence, and a troubling family secret that an upstart journalist wants to expose.

Themes and Style

Morris has created more here than just another political potboiler. His examination of Black families' ties to one another challenges readers to think twice about their own deeply held convictions. Morris deftly interweaves socioeconomic theory and good old-fashioned storytelling. He keeps readers involved to the very end or perhaps even longer.
