Sheriff Winston Barnes and his wife are awakened in the middle of the night by the roar of a plane flying very low over their home. When he arrives at the local airport to investigate a possible crash, the sheriff finds a damaged and abandoned World War II era plane at the far end of the short runway and the body of a young Black man lying nearby. The puzzling incident begins to stir the embers of racial tension in the North Carolina coastal town, where Barnes is facing a tough reelection battle against an arrogant, well-connected, and unapologetic bigot, who is determined to use the power of the office to further his ambitious plans for the area. The author combines a compelling mystery with observations about the insidious nature of prejudice and how easily it can distort truth, instill fear, and be accepted as a way of life. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves

This is a heartrending work of not-quite-fiction, following the stories of Rami Elhanan, an Israeli, and Bassam Aramin, a Palestinian, each of whom lost a daughter to the conflict between their peoples. Told in 1001 short cantos, jumping through time, space, and theme with breathtaking flexibility, Apeirogon challenges the definition of a novel, the line between fact and fiction, the purpose of war. The story of Rami and Bassam is an incontrovertible argument for peace, and demands to be heard. ~ Reviewed by Digby Baker-Porazinski
