Il Sud degli Stati Uniti è un luogo fondato su fatti di sangue e di oblio. Titus Crown, ex agente dell'FBI e primo sceriffo nero della contea di Charon, Virginia, ha sempre vissuto questa verità sulla sua pelle. E a un anno esatto dalla nomina, in quella che tutti considerano una cittadina tranquilla, l'antica violenza riemerge: un insegnante di liceo viene ucciso con un colpo di fucile da un ex studente, Latrell Macdonald, subito abbattuto da un agente sui gradini della scuola. Prima di morire, il giovane ha il tempo di urlare un'ultima frase: "Guardategli nel telefono".

Per un ex galeotto, una coppia di poliziotti davanti alla porta di casa non può che significare guai. E quando Ike Randolph viene a sapere che suo figlio Isiah è stato ucciso a sangue freddo insieme al marito Derek, lasciando orfana una bimba piccola, il passato che pensava di essersi messo alle spalle gli crolla addosso. Al dolore si aggiunge la vergogna di non aver mai saputo accettare l'omosessualità del figlio. La stessa vergogna che prova Buddy Lee Jenkins, il padre di Derek, anche lui con un curriculum da delinquente di tutto rispetto.

Ike Randolph has been out of jail for fifteen years, with not so much as a speeding ticket in all that time. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah’s white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss. Derek’s father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed his father was a criminal. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though, and he wants to know who killed his boy.

"Mi occupo dei corpi." È così che Nathan Waymaker risponde quando gli chiedono che lavoro fa. Ex marine, ex vice sceriffo, ora lavora nell'agenzia funebre del cugino a Queen County, Virginia. Ma chi lo conosce sa che non è solo un becchino: se la polizia non vuole o non può aiutarti, è lui l'uomo giusto a cui rivolgersi. Quando il reverendo Esau Watkins viene trovato morto, alcuni fedeli della sua chiesa gli chiedono di indagare. Ma a Queen County, Virginia, la giustizia ha molte facce e quasi nessuna è pulita.

Whether it's working at his cousin's funeral home or tossing around the local riffraff at his favorite bar, Nathan Waymaker is a man who knows how to handle the bodies. A former marine and sheriff's deputy, Nathan has built a reputation in his small Southern town as a man who can help when all other avenues have been exhausted. When a beloved local minister is found dead, his parishioners ask Nathan to make sure the death isn't swept under the rug.

Ike Randolph est noir. Buddy Lee Jenkins est blanc. En Virginie-Occidentale, cela revient à dire que tout les oppose. Ils ont pourtant été tous les deux pareillement lamentables en dénigrant avec la même violence l'homosexualité de leurs fils, maintenant mariés l'un à l'autre. Alors, quand Isiah et Derek sont assassinés, la douleur a un goût de culpabilité. Qui a tôt fait de se transformer en colère, une colère viscérale, qui réclame un exutoire.

Titus Crown is the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, Virginia. In recent decades, Charon has had only two murders. After years of working as an FBI agent, no one knows better than Titus that while his hometown might seem like a land of moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle, secrets always fester under the surface. But a year after Titus's election, a school teacher is killed by a former student. The student is then fatally shot by Titus's deputies. As Titus investigates the shootings, he unearths terrible crimes, and a serial killer who has been hiding in plain sight.

Grand Prix des lectrices ELLE Policier. No country for black men. Le Sud n’a pas changé. Ce constat, Titus Crown y est confronté au quotidien. Ancien agent du FBI, il est le premier shérif noir à avoir été élu à Charon, la terre de son enfance. Si son élection a fait la fierté de son père, elle a surtout provoqué la colère des Blancs, qui ne supportent pas de le voir endosser l’uniforme, et la défiance des Noirs, qui le croient à la solde de l’oppresseur.
