A well written historical novel set in a small town in Georgia from its founding about 1910 to 1963. The focus is the police department from its first chief to its first black chief in the early 1960’s. The mystery is not who did it but if he will be caught.
I have read that historical novels should be judged by the time period depicted, the time period in which it was written and the time period in which the reader experiences it.
Time period depicted in the book: 1919-1963
Time written: 1981
