Den Zeitpunkt ihres eigenen Todes kennen nur Selbstmörder – oder zum Tode Verurteilte. Ryan Kowalczyk hat die letzten fünfzehn Jahre in der Todeszelle gesessen. Wie alle Hinrichtungskandidaten beharrt er felsenfest auf seiner Unschuld. Er soll ein junges Elternpaar mit seinem Baseballschläger auf brutale Weise totgeprügelt haben, während ihr dreijähriges Kind auf dem Rücksitz unter einer Decke schlief, und niemand hat Mitgefühl mit Kowalczyk – am allerwenigsten Detective Harry Ryman, der Ryan verhaftet hat. Nach Ryans Hinrichtung beauftragt seine Mutter Mary Mason damit, die Unschuld ihres Sohnes zu beweisen und den Mann vor Gericht zu bringen, den sie für den wahren Mörder hält: den besten Freund ihres Sohnes. Während Mason in den Fall eintaucht, begibt er sich immer tiefer in Gefahr und in eine Welt voller Angst, Betrug, Korruption und Mord.

In the 1920s, Kansas City was a wide-open town. Prohibition was ignored because the people were thirsty. Graft and corruption turned the governing wheel. Meatpacking drove the marketplace. Jazz made the body swing and the heart sing. And hate divided white and black, threatening to burn everything down. Bennie Moten's Blues tells the story of three Kansas City families whose lives intersect as each reaches for their version of the American dream. Portia and Oliver Bandy, two generations removed from slavery, struggle to free themselves from the shackles of racism. Avi Kaplan, a young, idealistic lawyer, is determined to repair the world, while his sister, Miriam, chafes against traditions standing between her and the man she loves. Jackson Crane runs his slaughterhouse with ruthless efficiency, letting his son, Russ - a blunt and violent instrument - do his dirty work. Bandy works for Crane until he leads a wildcat strike for equal pay. Avi Kaplan defends Bandy when he's accused in the disappearance of a young white woman. A mob comes for Bandy in the dead of night demanding justice at the end of a rope. Life, death and love hang in the balance.
