About the Book<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After years of working as an FBI agent, Titus Crown returns home to Charon County, land of moonshine and cornbread, fist fights and honeysuckle. Seeing his hometown struggling with a bigoted police force inspires him to run for sheriff. He wins, and becomes the first Black sheriff in the history of the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then a year to the day after his election, a young Black man is fatally shot by Titus\u2019s deputies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titus pledges to follow the truth wherever it leads. But no one expected he would unearth a serial killer who has been hiding in plain sight, haunting the dirt lanes and woodland clearings of Charon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Titus must pull off the impossible: stay true to his instincts, prevent outright panic, and investigate a shocking crime in a small town where everyone knows everyone yet secrets flourish. All while also breaking up backroads bar fights and being forced to protect racist Confederate pride marchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a Black man wearing a police uniform in the American South, that\u2019s no easy feat. But Charon is Titus\u2019s home and his heart, and he won\u2019t let the darkness overtake it. Even as it threatens to consume him\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
