With Tom Edloe, a member of the town\u2019s prominent white families, in custody for the death of a black girl, the community readies itself for a sad but predictable narrative of racial justice come too late. But everything changes when Tom hires Sully Slyke, a fearless lawyer, recovering alcoholic and drug addict, who discovers there\u2019s more to the story than it seems.<\/span><\/p><p>The murder took place in 1958, when the stately old courthouse in Skipton burned down, killing Elise Monroe, a black teenager who had helped integrate the town\u2019s high school. The town mourned the loss of its beloved courthouse but quickly accepted that the cause was an accident. As the years passed, people began to ask questions and search for somewhere to allocate blame, but the events remained a mystery.<\/p><p>Sully believes Tom is innocent. But the evidence and public opinion is overwhelmingly against him. It will take everything Sully\u2019s got to see this case through and he will likely lose clients and friends, and could even risk his marriage in the bargain.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44e00c52 elementor-align-center

called Blytheville.<\/p>\n<p>The town sits on land that was devastated by earthquakes two hundred years ago.&nbsp; Land once full of hills and countryside that became flat and damaged, prone to swamps and flooding.&nbsp; Land later settled and changed again into the land it is now.&nbsp; A land of vast fields, filled with row upon row of crops.<\/p>\n<p>My mother grew up there and, though I did not, she and my father brought my siblings and me to the state often.&nbsp; For family, Razorback football, and horse races.&nbsp; Many of my earliest and most enduring memories are from those long-gone days of my youth.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">Blytheville was the place I got to experience life in a way I never could anywhere else\u2014spending time at

years after the murder of Elise Monroe, one of the 10 who integrated Skipton High, it seems justice is a sure thing with the arrest of Tom Edloe. Readers will be intrigued with Sully Slyke\u2019s preparation and execution of Tom\u2019s trial.<\/p>\n<p>Just as Atticus Finch shed light on the racial realities of his times, so Sully exposes for us the complexities of unresolved racial issues in our times.&nbsp;The 1958 crime was motivated by racial hatred. The crime 50 years later was motivated by greed. Both counted on racial prejudice to conceal the injustice.<\/p>\n<p>It is a timely read.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
