“Fresh and exhilarating. . . Cosby keeps his eye on the story and the pedal to the metal.” —Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review

In the serene town of Charon County, Virginia, history is made with the appointment of Titus Crown, the first Black sheriff. Despite the town's tranquil facade—complete with moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle—Titus, a former FBI agent, understands that beneath this veneer lies a breeding ground for secrets.

A year into Titus’s tenure, tragedy strikes when a school teacher is killed by a former student, and the student is fatally shot by Titus’s deputies. Titus's investigation uncovers a web of terrible crimes and reveals a serial killer hidden in plain sight, haunting the quiet lanes and woodland clearings of Charon.

While Titus projects confidence in solving the case, he grapples with concealing a painful secret from his past. Simultaneously, he faces the challenge of a far-right group aiming to hold a parade in celebration of the town’s Confederate history.

Charon is not just Titus’s duty; it's his home and heart. However, when faith collides with violence, a reckoning becomes inevitable. S. A. Cosby, a New York Times bestselling and Los Angeles Times Book Prize-winning author, unfolds a gripping narrative that explores the intersection of race, history, and justice in this atmospheric pressure cooker of a thriller.
