Summary
A chilling tale of murder and injustice in the Jim Crow South As a fourteen-year-old black boy living in 1940s South Carolina, Linus Bragg should know better than to follow the two bicycling white girls. But something about Sue Ellen and Cindy Lou compels him. Maybe it & rsquo;s the way Cindy Lou speaks to him, or how Sue Ellen sits on her bike. Whatever the reason, he follows the girls into the woods. It & rsquo;s the worst mistake he ever makes. When he comes into the clearing, both girls are dead and young Linus is the natural suspect. Forty years later, a nephew of Linus & rsquo;s returns to South Carolina, curious about this dark moment in his family & rsquo;s past. To find the fourth person who visited the clearing that day means reopening a sinister chapter of the small town & rsquo;s history, which certain evil men had thought closed forever.
