A searing, brutally realistic novel of race relations in the deep south, finally back in print for the first time in 70 years.
"The most moving and convincing novel of the South that I have ever read. It has just the right degree of realism...it spares no one." Howard University Professor Alain LeRoy Locke, the first African-American Rhodes Scholar.
Acting bad came easily to everyone on the huge, isolated Mississippi delta plantation...until the tensions between the white overseers and the black sharecroppers exploded in bloodshed... leaving a white man dead and Brother Jackson, a black man, falsely jailed for murder and facing certain death in a rigged trial.
Four powerful, controversial, highly-acclaimed novels set in the deep south during the 1950s and early 1960s that deal with politics, race, crime, and sex in bold, exciting stories that reflect the turbulent era...and leave a lasting impression. All these novels are back in print for the first time in over 60 years... and collected for the first time ever in one massive ebook.
