Wiley takes us to a different time in one of my favorite coastal areas- the area surrounding Wilmington, NC. A plane crash in small town with a dead man start off the book with a lot of questions and puzzle pieces that don't seem to quite fit. In the midst of this chaos and brackish details, there are also political games at play. The sheriff is up for re-election. And, the one thing that a quest for power can do, is put a town at odds with each other, neighbor against neighbor. Very quickly, racial tensions mount and create an intense and gut-wrenching read. There were multiple times that I shuddered at the language, treatment, and historical relevance threaded in this book.
A surprising ending with a lot of turbulence along the way makes this Wiley's best book yet. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me an advanced copy of one of my favorite NC authors in exchange for an honest review.
