Publisher's Synopsis
For five years, a fragile peace had prevailed in the town of Sharpville, Mississippi, following the convictions of the town's criminial cabal, which operated for more than four decades as self-appointed protectors of Jim Crowism and a brand of white supremacy based on their interpretations of biblical scripture. A tragic event shakes the town's collective sense of peace and calm and triggers a series of incidents that pits the town's progressive African American police chief and its equally progressive police lieutenant against the dying legacy of Jim Crowism and its chief proponent, Billy Wayne Sharp.
