Endeavour reprint
The Butchers by J D Wright
A young black maid is found hanged from a tree. Lynched.
Tied to her lifeless toes is a note: `N*GG*RS DON'T DATE WHITES'
In an otherwise quiet and civilized community, this brutal murder cracks in the peaceful façade.
The status quo - or segregation - that keeps the townsfolk at ease is beginning to rupture.
Warren Delaney, a newly-hired writer for the Abingdon Herald finds himself at the forefront of the investigation into this mysterious and heinous crime.
Delaney, Dawson and co. must investigate if anyone is to bring this young black woman to justice and reconcile the two races separated by skin colour in this deep Southern town.
