"Take a ride up Highway 59... It's the main artery that connects the hardscrabble towns of East Texas. Backwater locales where justice for all can be hard to come by and race is an ever-present, if never-discussed, reality. It's the land that Darren Mathews, a black Texas Ranger with the law in his blood, escaped the first chance he got. It's the only place he'll ever call home, and duty will always call him back. But when his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he takes to Highway 59 again, with his career--and his relationship with the woman he loves--hanging in the balance. At the end of the ride is Lark, a community that time and progress forgot. In the bayou, two bodies--a middle-aged black lawyer from Chicago and a local young white woman--have washed ashore and stirred up a hornet's nest of resentment. At first, it seems like an open-and-shut case, another racially motivated crime that the world will soon forget. But when a shocking secret surfaces in his investigation, Darren must solve the crimes--and save himself in the process--before Lark's long-simmering racial tensions erupt."--
