As a boy, Jeremy Stick watched a man hang, strung up by a lawless mob. Years later, U.S. Army Sergeant Stick struggles to understand what drives normally decent men to defy law and order. He encounters racial hatred on the dusty streets of Nogales, Mexico, and the burning of an entire community known as "The Black Wall Street" in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After finally meeting the woman who may be the love of his life, their future together is threatened by an evil force that is beyond their wildest imaginations. "Cornell's characters are full of intrigue and mystery, keeping a reader engrossed in the story from start to finish. It's as if you're transformed to the late nineteenth century." - Elizabeth Wehman, Author of "The Year the Stars Fell."
