"1911. Atlanta, Georgia--Murder! Hank McCord witnesses the murder of his best friend by two mill supervisors. There's another witness, a stranger, Calvin Yates, a Negro boy about Hank's age, questions Hank's desire to go to the sheriff for help ... A chase begins that forces the boys to flee to the only person who can help them, the Finder ... The law is on the lookout for Hank and the KKK makes a 'night ride' seeking Calvin."--Cover back.
