'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. In a divided city, crime comes
home. White officer Denny Rakestraw joins Lucius Boggs and Tommy
Smith from Atlanta's Negro Officer precinct to face the Klan, gangs
and family warfare in their rapidly changing city. Black families -
including Smith's sister and brother-in-law - are moving into
Rake's formerly all-white neighbourhood, leading Rake's
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
