Description

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1950s Atlanta, Lightning Men is a gripping crime novel that explores the complexities of racial tension and loyalty. In this sequel to Darktown, Thomas Mullen masterfully weaves together multiple storylines as Officer Denny Rakestraw and his colleagues navigate the treacherous landscape of gang violence, family secrets, and social change.

The city is on the brink of upheaval, with black families moving into previously all-white neighbourhoods and the Ku Klux Klan fighting to maintain its grip on power. As Rake is forced to choose between loyalty to his family and upholding the law, he must confront the darker aspects of human nature. Meanwhile, his colleagues Lucius Boggs and Tommy Smith face their own personal struggles, from Boggs' forbidden romance to Smith's sister's involvement in a violent gang.

With its ferocious passion and meticulous attention to historical detail, Lightning Men is a thrilling pacey read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Thomas Mullen's writing is both magnificent and shocking, making this novel an unmissable read for fans of crime fiction and historical drama.
