Story
This book chronicles how the illegal gambling game of bolita, from its birth in segregationist Suwannee County in the 1930s to its death in the 1950s, led to Blood on the Suwannee. These three stories take readers down memory lane, portraying a time in history when law enforcement originated in slave patrols formed to return "property" to plantation owners. The book foreshadows how the past continues to reflect in the present and the unfortunate decay of the justice system - especially as it affects African Americans.

Story
In the timber camps of North Florida in the 1930s, Zora Neale Hurston, a famous African-American anthropologist and author, discovered the unwritten segregationist law allowing a white man to force a white woman to have his children. Dr. Ellis coined the term "paramour rights" and attributed it to Hurston's character in this novel. Twenty years later, she received an assignment from the Pittsburgh Courier to cover the murder trial of Ruby McCollum, a wealthy colored woman accused of slaying a white physician.
