When two detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation travel to Money, Mississippi, to look into a string of horrific killings, they discover an unexpected second body—that of a man who looks like Emmett Till—at every crime site. Following opposition from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and other prejudiced white townspeople, the MBI detectives begin to assume that these are revenge killings. Then they find horrifyingly identical murders occurring around the nation in quick succession. It appears that the past will not be forgotten. The rebellion has started. Percival Everett examines the legacy of lynching in the United States and delivers a searing indictment of white supremacy in this thought-provoking page-turner that directly targets racism and police brutality.
