The Trees
by Percival Everett
Published 2021 ยท 288 pages
Money, Mississippi, the present day. White men keep turning up murdered, and next to each body lies the corpse of a Black man who looks uncannily like Emmett Till. Two detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive in a town that would rather not remember its history. Percival Everett's Booker-shortlisted novel is a furious, very funny revenge story with a horror streak: Anthony's spooky pick for October.
