'He makes a revenge fantasy into a comic horror masterpiece.' - Los Angeles Times
When the rural town of Money, Mississippi is beset by a series of brutal murders, a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive. Only to be met with resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a mob of racist white townsfolk.
This, they expect. Less predictable, however, is the second corpse which appears at each crime scene: that of a man resembling Emmett Till, the young Black boy lynched in the same town sixty-five years earlier.
As a spate of copycat killings spreads across the country, what begins as a murder investigation soon becomes a journey into the soul of America's violent past.
From the author of James, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and Erasure, adapted into the Oscar-winning film American Fiction.
'Everett has mastered the movement between unspeakable terror and knock out comedy.' - The New York Times
