“Saving Dabba” by Randy Rawls kept me engaged in both the story and the characters. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to read this book earlier.

Beth Bowman works with a group of homeless people. One of them is murdered and Beth feels she needs to figure out why someone would brutally take this life.

Dabba, a homeless woman with an unusual past, is arrested for a related crime. Beth knows the woman is innocent and sets out to prove it.

With a troublemaking group in town who seems to despise the homeless, doors open and Beth walks into touchy situations. Demonstrations become violent and she finds she needs to work from the inside of the group.

I enjoy Rawls style of writing and his characterizations, as well as the mystery he presents. I highly recommend this story, especially in a time when the homeless people are an issue staring us in the face.
