Filled with profound guilt about his own crimes and disheartened by the chaos of the streets, Socrates calls together local people of all races and social stations and begins to conduct a Thinkers' Club, where all can discuss life's unanswerable questions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Infiltrated by undercover cops and threatened by strain from within, the Thinkers' Club doesn't't have it easy. But simply by debating racial authenticity, street justice, and the possibility of mutual understanding, Socrates and his unlikely crew actually begin to make a difference. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Right Mistake\u003c\/i\u003e is Walter Mosley at his most incisive.
