"Lazarre-White masterfully portrays people of multiple races, old and young. He also delivers Cosby's reflections on family, grief, and faith with genuine introspection and without distracting from the tense plotlines...This is a gripping, timely tale—beautifully told."—AudioFile (Earphones Award winner)

The new novel from New York Times bestselling and Los Angeles Times Book Prize-winning author S. A. Cosby, "one of the most muscular, distinctive, grab-you-by-both-ears voices in American crime fiction.”—The Washington Post.

A Black sheriff. A serial killer.

A small town ready to combust.

Titus Crown is the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, Virginia. In recent decades, quiet Charon has had only two murders. But after years of working as an FBI agent, Titus knows better than anyone that while his hometown might seem like a land of moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle, secrets always fester under the surface.

Then a year to the day after Titus’s election, a school teacher is killed by a former student and the student is 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, haunting the dirt lanes and woodland clearings of Charon.

With the killer’s possible connections to a local church and the town’s harrowing history weighing on him, Titus projects confidence about closing the case while concealing a painful secret from his own past. At the same time, he also has to contend with a far-right group that wants to hold a parade in celebration of the town’s Confederate history.

Charon is Titus’s home and his heart. But where faith and violence meet, there will be a reckoning.

Powerful and unforgettable, All the Sinners Bleed confirms S. A. Cosby as “one of the most muscular, distinctive, grab-you-by-both-ears voices in American crime fiction” (The Washington Post).

Visceral, gripping, thrilling and entertaining

"All the Sinners Bleed" is another visceral, fantastic, dark and atmospheric thriller that solidifies New York Times bestselling and Los Angeles Times Book Prize-winning author S. A. Cosby as “one of the most distinctive, original and entertaining storytellers in American crime fiction.

The story follows Titus Crown, the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, a small town with big secrets in Virginia, that at first sight may seem like a land of moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle. Although in recent decades, quiet Charon has had only two murders, a deranged and ruthless serial killer will bring a time of darkness, fear and despair for everyone living there.

Award-winning actor, director, writer, artist and audiobook narrator Adam Lazarre-White skillfully brings all the characters, their stories and this unforgettable, timely tale to life in a gripping and colorful performance. I can’t think of any other narrator who could have done a better job with this dramatic story.

"All the Sinners Bleed" picks up steam fast and doesn’t let go until the very end. An unpausable story made even better as an audiobook thanks to the masterful narration!

Fantastic

Like the former book I listened to by S.A. Cosby (pen name) with the fabulous voice of Adam L. White this did not disappoint. The author has such a way with words, lacing similes, metaphors, and subtle humor into some very heavy material. The author grabs and holds one's interest right away and doesn't let go. I do believe this narrator could read a phone book and make it sound amazing.

Tried author before

But couldn’t get through the first 20 minutes. This one was the same but I stuck it out. Glad I did. Very intense story. Beautifully narrated

Excellent story!

I got absolutely nothing done for the 2 days it took me to listen to this. The story was not predictable,. I highly recommend it. Very well written, lots of depth

Great New Thriller!

Heroic sheriff confronting old ways of discrimination against black and brown people, as well as dealing with a sociopathic killer in the south. Well written AND suspenseful. Great story and performance.

can't go wrong with this author

Absolutely loved this book, as I knew I would. The narrator bring everybook to life. Cosby's books are like watching a movie...with popcorn of course 👍🏾👍🏾

MUST READ!!

S. A. Cosby did not disappoint! I was hanging on every word! Definitely one of his best works so far!

Riveting

Gorgeous writing and a ripping good read. From the pacing to the depth of characterization it exceeds the genre. Think Grisham for story, Faulkner for imagery, and SA Cosby for his own powerful voice of black Southern truth.

Lives up the the hype

An tightly woven crime thriller with the added bonus of an honest look at the south and its attempt to remain relevant. The focus on the daily struggles of black people in a society awash with casual and institutional racism brings an edge of reality that only adds to the conflict. Fabulous narrator too!

Excellent book!

Superb story, great writing and one of the best books for 2023.
