In a depressed town on France's northern coast, a man named Martial Kermeur has been arrested for the murder of real estate developer Antoine Lazenec after throwing him overboard. Called before a judge, Kermeur goes back to the beginning to explain what brought him to this desperate point: his divorce, his son's acting out, layoffs at his job, and, above all, Lazenec’s dazzling project for a seaside resort.

After a successful revolt in 1846 that reversed the roles of slaves and masters, modern-day America is now dominated by a wealthy, Black ruling class, and Whites are dealing with decades of oppression and prejudice. When his father, a civil rights attorney, is killed after defending a White man, 17-year-old Willie Gibbons is forced to move to Michigan with his uncle and thrust into the heart of the racial divide. The Crown Lord is a stark and jarring look at race, class, and the American Dream that will keep listeners on edge.

Una familia ordinaria que, como en la cita célebre, se distingue por su desgracia.
