Midnight Atlanta is the stunning new novel in the award-nominated,
critically acclaimed Darktown series, and sees a newspaper editor
murdered against the backdrop of Rosa Parks' protest and Martin
Luther King Jnr's emergence. Atlanta, 1956. When Arthur Bishop,
editor of Atlanta's leading black newspaper, is killed in his
office, cop-turned-journalist Tommy Smith finds himself in the
crosshairs of the racist cops he's been trying to avoid. To clear
his name, he needs to learn more about the dangerous story Bishop
had been working on. Meanwhile, Smith's ex-partner Lucius Boggs and
white sergeant Joe McInnis - the only white cop in the black
precinct - find themselves caught between meddling federal agents,
racist detectives, and Communist activists as they try to solve the
murder. With a young Rev. Martin Luther King Jnr making headlines
of his own, and tensions in the city growing, Boggs and Smith find
themselves back on the same side in a hunt for the truth that will
put them both at risk. PRAISE FOR THE DARKTOWN SERIES 'A brilliant
blending of crime, mystery, and American history. Terrific
entertainment' Stephen King 'Superb' Ken Follett 'Magnificent and
shocking' Sunday Times 'Written with a ferocious passion that'll
knock the wind out of you' New York Times
