Larry Ott had been accused of kidnapping and maybe the murder of a neighbor girl while he was still in high school. But because the body was never found he was never charged with any crime except in the minds of the people in his home town. Now another girl is missing and he is a suspect in this crime, but before anything can be done he is shot. His childhood friend and the new constable, Silas Jones is trying to find out what happened. Silas and Larry were friends one summer - this is important because Larry is white and Silas is black and this is Mississippi in the 70s. You can figure out part of the story right away but there are some twists at the end.
