The White Road

About the book

In South Carolina, a young black man is facing the death penalty for the rape and murder of Marianne Larousse, the daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the state. This is a case that no one wants to get involved in, as it is deeply rooted in old evil. Private detective Charlie Parker specializes in dealing with such cases. However, Parker is about to embark on a journey into darkness, where he will confront malevolent forces that threaten everything he holds dear: his lover, his unborn child, and even his soul...

Locked away in a prison cell, a zealous preacher is plotting his revenge against Charlie Parker, using the very men Parker is pursuing and a mysterious, hunched creature hiding its own secrets along a riverbank: the elusive killer Cyrus Nairn. Soon, all these characters will meet their fate in the swamps of the South and forests of the North, connected by a common thread in a place where the boundaries between the living and the dead blur - a place known only as the White Road.
