Books like Dark of the moon by P. J. Parrish


Louis Kincaid, born to a black mother and white father, has avoided the racist legacy of his Mississippi hometown for two decades. Now called back by a dying mother and assigned to the sheriff’s office, he discovers the skeleton of a lynching victim on the town’s grounds. As he investigates the identity of the corpse and the circumstances of its death, Kincaid is forced to confront the persistent racial tensions of Block Pool and his own place as a half‑white police officer. His inquiry threatens to expose long‑hidden secrets and risks igniting conflict in the community, as those who wish to keep the past buried stand against revelations.
