Grand Prix des lectrices ELLE Policier. No country for black men. Le Sud n’a pas changé. Ce constat, Titus Crown y est confronté au quotidien. Ancien agent du FBI, il est le premier shérif noir à avoir été élu à Charon, la terre de son enfance. Si son élection a fait la fierté de son père, elle a surtout provoqué la colère des Blancs, qui ne supportent pas de le voir endosser l’uniforme, et la défiance des Noirs, qui le croient à la solde de l’oppresseur. Bravant les critiques, Titus tente de faire régner la loi dans un comté rural frappé par la crise des opioïdes et les tensions raciales.

Addiction is the perpetual epidemic, where swarms of human moths flutter to the flames of hell. Because that warm blanket of a heroin high, that joyful intoxication of a pint of vodka, that electric energy from a line of cocaine, over time leaves you with a cold loneliness and a bitter heart.
