Cosby tells a tale that is repulsive, shining light on crime in the South and how it particularly leaves people of colour in the USA without a sense of justice. When a crime is perpetrated against a white person, we find the story everywhere. This happens far less frequently with POC victims. 

We cover a story of racism, crime, true justice, and self-forgiveness. Following our main character --a Black sheriff named Titus Crown--we work with him to catch a serial killer while also facing what it means to be a Black cop in the South. A true Southern noir. 

This book shines where it delves into Titus as a person. In fact, I hope to read more books about him. He is both likable and unlikable, you root for him and you also think "Come ON, Titus!!!". Cosby masterfully attacks the geopolitical hotspot of the South, racial bias, and the question of what is justice? 

I think what I would love to see in a future book is strong female characters. There are female characters, and Cosby seems to want me to see them as strong while also not making them a focal point of the story. This is fine, I don't absolutely need a woman to centre a plot, but if I am correct, Cosby wants me to see the female characters he writes as strong. They seem more like props to motivate the main character, in a James Bond kind of way. 

Regardless, I loved this book, and would love to read more in the future. Thanks, Cosby, for telling a story that provoked thought, outrage, and love.
