Synopsis

Street-smart and straightforward police chief Cuddy Mangum and his refined homicide detective Justin Savile V are determined to keep their town’s cultural, political and racial divisions stable …even peaceful. But when a young black activist is murdered while in the process of fighting for his brother’s freedom from death row, the lines keeping Hillston, North Carolina, in balance start to crumble.Thrust into a dirty political campaign and torn between his morals and his love for the wealthy and beautiful wife of an up-and-coming politician, Cuddy must uncover the secrets that lie in his own backyard.From high-powered and elegant country club ballrooms to dark and dangerous barroom corners, Malone weaves a mystery of plot and place where the difference between good and evil and right and wrong sometimes become indistinct.

This book explores that pivotal moment in the British Isles. If you have any interest at all in history yo......more


Quotes

“It’s an intriguing plot, and Malone doesn’t rush it…Aside from Malone’s deft observations and anecdotes, is his hero, as engaging a tour guide through this peripatetic narrative as anyone could ask.”

Publishers Weekly

“Gripping…Malone is an eloquent, witty writer who combines page-turning suspense with the subtlety and deeply felt emotion of the southern literary tradition at its finest.”
