A Black sheriff. A serial killer.

And a small town ready to combust.

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 to the day 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, 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 tries to project 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.

good start

Over hyped, predictable and not really scary. some grose details. Could have been great but to many misses opertunties missed.

Riveting

Solid plot, though slow to start. Narrator does a decent job, but is a bit too accented

marvellous writing

This is a terrific book. I neglected much to stay with it. Great characters, Great story. I've already bought anither

The perfect narration

Dark and dripping of human evil, but it still has a heart. Murder, racism, fantatical christianity and the worst of humanity blends together in the town of Charon where a sheriff has to solve an unimaginable crime before the town, and his soul, falls apart.
The narration lifts this excellent book up to another level. This is the best I've heard/read in a long time. Highly recommended, but be warned: This is brutal and might not be for everyone.

Love the story and writing style

Excellent story writing. It's explores the balancing act that has to play out everyday when a black person takes a leadership role in a white dominated area. Blacks have their expectations and whites have theirs. I enjoyed the relationship Titus had with his father and also his brother. You really don't see alot of that in books. All in all very compelling.
