They never exactly planned to hit Stone Mountain--things just got out of hand. But as June gives way to July and the temperature keeps rising, the crew can't quite manage to get anything back under control. Instead, each struggles with conflicting allegiances and problems they're not quite ready to handle, and they hurtle toward the summer's end and a future that threatens to pull them apart for good. Meanwhile, two FBI agents attempt to untangle the knot of rage, alliances, and tensions that led to the tag, getting in deep and ultimately revealing their own dangerously different professional agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet to a thumping soundtrack, rolling down suburban lanes and congested highways, \u003cem\u003eIn the Heat of the Light\u003c\/em\u003e delivers a new twist on the old story of a crew of young friends drawn in different directions on the verge of adulthood--one that is rooted in Black experiences of gentrification, Black Lives Matter, music, and a mosaic of Atlanta neighborhoods made up of families, food, and overwhelming change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Kearse is a dynamic journalist and critic covering movies, music, and American history for media including \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eUproxx\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ePaste\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 268\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 06, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52550459818291,"sku":"9781948559294","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/AX5DCnsTyH9781948559294.webp?v=1761076379","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/in-the-heat-of-the-light-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
