This was my first book by S.A. Cosby, and I devoured it! I both listened to the amazing audiobook, and also read the digital version. Cosby's storytelling is truly mastery.
The story opens with a shooting at the high school in which a well loved teacher is shot and killed and where the white police kill the black suspect. Titus, the chief of police, not only dives into the investigation of the murder, but also into the internal investigation.
As Titus and his team find out more about the shooting and the beloved teacher, the themes of racism, religion, family, and life in the rural south come through. The investigation is intense, fast moving, and unbelievably brutal. Through it all, Titus is a strong example of strong beliefs and fairness.
