A well-written book part murder mystery and part coming of age story. The author smoothly transitions from present day to past to tell the story of Larry Ott, a man ostracized by his Mississippi town because of his connection to a missing persons case, and Silas Jones, his childhood friend who has returned to the town as constable. Though slow to start, I found this story of race, friendship and secrets gripping, sad and ultimately redemptive.
