About this Event
For the month of July, Fiction Book Club will be reading and discussing The Trees by Percival Everett.
When the rural town of Money, Mississippi is beset by a series of brutal murders, a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive, only to be met with resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a mob of racist white townsfolk. This, they expect. Less predictable however, is the second corpse which appears at each crime scene: that of a man resembling Emmett Till, the young black boy lynched in the same town sixty-five years earlier.
As a spate of copycat killings spreads across the country, what begins as a M**der investigation soon becomes a journey into the soul of America's violent past.
