Overview

An African American sheriff, in a small town in southern Virginia, faces off with a serial killer.

An example of "southern noir", the book examines the racial and geopolitical fault lines of America's South.

Reception

In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews called the novel "another provocative and page-turning entry in the Southern noir genre." [3] In another starred review, Publishers Weekly begins their assessment calling it "a superb thriller" and continues to say that "the hard-edged storytelling is supplemented by richly developed characters", that Cosby "elegantly layers his narrative over Virginia's racial history, giving the proceedings uncommon emotional depth." [4]
