Ken, a black police officer in a small, Mississippi Delta town, is paired with Brietta, a white prosecutor, as they prepare a murder case for trial. He falls in love, despite being haunted by ghosts of a past relationship, and the awareness that attitudes among former classmates and people in the town he serves have not changed. And through it all, he has a workplace adversary, Nelson, who frequently finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Originally published in 2013, this new edition updates the story to account for societal changes and to lead into a sequel.
