Why did I love this book?
Titus Crown is the moral center of this brilliant, gritty, thought-provoking crime novel.
Titus (the first Black sheriff in a town rife with past and present racism) is a complex protagonist who grapples with his own past trauma as he investigates a horrific school shooting in which a white teacher is shot, and the Black boy who shoots him is gunned down by the police.
But nothing is black and white in this drama; there is something way more complicated and sinister at play here. The action is nonstop as Titus hunts down a serial killer who has been operating in the area for years.
This novel deftly conveys themes of racism, religion/faith, and
social injustice through a layered, unflinching, authentic, compelling
narrative.
