Description
The Trees by Percival Everett is a powerful satire of revenge and racial justice in America. A series of brutal murders in a rural town sparks a murder investigation that becomes a journey into the soul of America's violent past.
As the investigation unfolds, a disturbing pattern emerges: each victim resembles Emmett Till, a young Black boy lynched in the same town sixty-five years earlier. The case takes a dark and unexpected turn, forcing the detectives to confront the deep-seated racism and violence that still haunt America.
This thought-provoking novel is a page-turning comic horror that explores the complexities of racial justice and the power of the past to shape our present.
