On a moonlit fall night in 1957 a black teenager, Willie Homer Leggett, was lynched by a white mob in Calhoun County, Georgia, and thirty years later reporters John Maynard and Abby Sinclair are seeking the truth behind the killing. Initially assigned to do a series of stories on the anniversary of the Albany Movement from the early 1960s, John and Abby learn of the lynching through the help of a local history professor. Like many such killings in the South back then, no arrests were made in connection with the lynching. But now there are those who knew and loved Willie and are willing to risk their own lives so the truth can finally be revealed. Willie’s forbidden relationship with a white girl leads John and Abby deeper into the story. Powerful and dangerous men are out to stop them. Read as a series or standalone novels.
