Description

After breaking into the general store, fourteen-year old Cory Sonnet witnesses five men brutally rape and murder three teenage girls; one white and two black. He recognizes the fourth one as the sheriff's son. The fifth remains in the shadows. Terrified, he runs. Who would ever believe him, a boy from the "awful Sonnet family." Twenty years later, with a successful journalistic career and a Pulitzer Prize under his belt, he learns the remains of one of those men had been found in an abandoned well. Latent memories return to haunt him. Tormented, he returns to Mississippi to reveal the killers' identities and disclose the true story. When one of the murderers is the elected sheriff his problems compound. Then the Klan reacts violently, simmering racial hatreds boil over, and corrupt politics interfere. When a killer begins to stalk him, and a new romance jolts him with a surprising jagged edge, his task becomes even more daunting.
