Old loves, festering hatreds, and buried family secrets: A man returns from the dead in this sweeping tale of Jazz Age New York. Civil rights attorney David McKay disappeared years ago while investigating a lynching down South. Now, he's back, very much alive and very determined to unearth the truth about his sister’s brutal death. His search rips back the curtain on the glittering world of the Harlem Renaissance, revealing a world of lies, hypocrisy, and tragic betrayal. Each day he spends in town brings him closer to the truth—and closer to ruin. How soon before time runs out? How soon before his enemies find out what he's been doing all these years? Before they uncover his own bitter and shameful secret—the sin that could destroy him? Lyrics of a Blackbird is an absorbing and powerful standalone in Persia Walker's series of 1920s noir mysteries.
