Your House Will Pay by Steph Cha

Shawn Matthews, after several stints in prison, has a steady girlfriend and is a reliable worker at a moving company. Meanwhile, Grace Park lives with her parents and works at her family's pharmacy. Their two lives collide when a crime befalls Grace's household, one that has connections to a violent act perpetrated against Shawn's family over twenty-five years ago. Set alternately in the Los Angeles of the early 1990's and the present, Your House Will Pay is an unforgettable novel of racism, heartache, and loyalty. A great read-alike to Scott Lasser's excellent Say Nice Things About Detroit and Lou Berney's The Long and Faraway Gone.
