predictable  however  is the second corpse which appears at each crime scene: that of a man
resembling Emmett Till  the young Black boy lynched in the same town sixty-five years earlier.
As a spate of copycat killings spreads across the country  what begins as a murder
investigation soon becomes a journey into the soul of America's violent past.   From the author

out comedy.' - The New York Times
