But financial necessity leaves him no choice. There is something deeper and darker about his request, and Charles does not need any more trouble. But Charles Blakey is black and Anniston Bennet is white, and it is clear that the stranger wants more than a basement view. The beautiful house has been in the Blakey family for generations, but Charles has just lost his job and is behind on his mortgage payments. The stranger offers him $50,000 in cash to spend the summer in Charles's basement, and Charles cannot even begin to guess why. The man at Charles Blakey's door has a proposition almost too strange for words. Description This masterpiece by celebrated New York Times bestselling author Walter Mosley is the mysterious story of a young Black man who agrees to an unusual bargain to save the home that has belonged to his family for generations.
