520    On the last Friday evening of the summer of 2013, five 
       shots rang out in the parking lot of a new Boys & Girls 
       Club in a part of northeast Denver known as the Holly. 
       Long a destination for African American families fleeing 
       the Jim Crow South, the Holly had become an “invisible 
       city” within a historically white metropolis. While 
       shootings weren’t uncommon, the identity of the shooter 
       that night came as a shock. Terrance Roberts was a revered
       activist. His attempts to bring peace to his community had
       won the accolades of both his neighbors and the state’s 
       most important power brokers. Why had he just fired a gun?
       The author, award-winning journalist Julian Rubinstein who
       grew up in Denver, reconstructs the events leading up to 
       the fateful confrontation that left a local gang member 
       paralyzed and Terrance Roberts on trial, facing a life in 
       prison. This is a multigenerational crime story that 
       explores the porous boundaries between a city’s elites and
       its most disadvantaged citizens, as well as the fraught 
       interactions of police, confidential informants, activists,
       gang members, and ex-gang members trying—or not—to put 
       their pasts behind them. It shows how well-intentioned 
       urban renewal may hasten gentrification, and what happens 
       when overzealous policing collides with gang members who 
       conceive of themselves as defenders, however imperfect, of
       a neighborhood.
