'A brilliant blending of crime, mystery, and American history.
Terrific entertainment' Stephen King on Darktown Lightning Men
follows the multi-award-nominated, highly acclaimed crime debut
Darktown into a city on the brink of huge and violent change - and
full of secrets. Atlanta, 1950. Crime divides, the fight unites.
Officer Denny Rakestraw and 'Negro Officers' Lucius Boggs and Tommy
Smith face the Klan, gangs and family warfare in a rapidly changing
Atlanta. Black families - including Smith's sister and
brother-in-law - are moving into Rake's formerly all-white
neighbourhood, leading his brother-in-law, a proud Klansman, to
launch a scheme to 'save' their streets. When those efforts leave a
man dead, Rake is forced to choose between loyalty to family or the
law. Meanwhile, Boggs has outraged his preacher father by courting
a domestic, whose dangerous ex-boyfriend is then released from
prison. As Boggs, Smith, and their all-black precinct contend with
violent drug dealers fighting for turf in new territory, their
personal dramas draw them closer to the fires that threaten to
consume Atlanta once again. Praise for Thomas Mullen 'Magnificent
and shocking' Sunday Times 'Written with a ferocious passion
that'll knock the wind out of you' New York Times
