Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In 1951, a smooth-talking Chicago lawyer approaches Sam Vincent, a former prosecutor from Polk County, Arkansas, about a troubling situation involving a prison for violent black convicts near Thebes, Mississippi. Thebes appears isolated, with unanswered letters and calls, prompting the lawyer to seek answers. Sam, an ex-lawman, agrees to investigate but warns his old friend Earl Swagger that if he doesn't return in a week, Earl should come looking for him. When Sam goes missing in the swamps around Thebes, Earl, armed and determined, sets out to find him. As Earl stealthily approaches the town and its ominous prison, he senses something sinister at play. The prison is not merely a terrifying place for convicts; the town itself harbors dark secrets, where inquisitive strangers can easily vanish, often meeting a grim fate in the swamps. Earl’s mission becomes a desperate race against time to uncover the truth and rescue his friend before he too becomes lost in the shadows of Thebes.
