When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist White townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe detectives suspect that these are killings of retribution, but soon discover that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country. Something truly strange is afoot. As the bodies pile up, the MBI detectives seek answers from a local root doctor who has been documenting every lynching in the country for years, uncovering a history that refuses to be buried. In this bold, provocative book, Everett takes direct aim at racism and police violence, and does so in a fast-paced style that ensures the reader can’t look away. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Trees\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis an enormously powerful novel of lasting importance from an author with his finger on America’s pulse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDimensions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5.5 x 0.9 x 8.25, 320 pages, paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43851131191521,"sku":"9781644450642","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9558\/8015\/products\/ScreenShot2023-04-14at2.51.18PM.png?v=1681498486","url":"https:\/\/pressshopatl.shop\/products\/the-trees-percival-everett","provider":"Pressshopatl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
