The rape of a prominent white woman unleashes the fury of a vicious, bigoted sheriff whose outrageous methods are either sanctioned, excused, or ignored by officials in Lake County, Florida. This is both an unsparing examination of the deep-seated racism that permeated the state like a virulent plague and an eloquent tribute to the few brave souls who stood up and resisted it. Inspiring and horrifying, and a worthy continuation of the story that began in Mr. King's Pulitzer prize-winning Devil in the Grove.
