Bøker av Mary Barr

¿Alberta and Hugo Grasshopper appear like many upper class, wealthy couples in their ¿mid-forties. However, Alberta is a mastermind of disguise and an electronic genius. Their ¿dangerous lifestyle sees them travel the globe, infiltrate large organisations and ¿embezzling millions, before dissolving back into their lives. Murder has never been on ¿the agenda, but it is their beloved daughter Neve, who brings murder to their doorstep ¿and the law follows closely behind. For the Grasshoppers getting caught has never been ¿an option.¿

Highlights how racial divides limited the life chances of blacks while providing opportunities for whites, and offers an insider's perspective on the social practices that doled out benefits and penalties based on race-despite attempts to integrate.
