Synopsis

There is no hope of death for these souls . . .

In South Carolina, a young black man faces the death penalty for the rape and murder of Marianne Larousse, daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the state. But this case runs deeper, into the dark history of the American South.

Investigating the mystery, Charlie Parker is suffocated by its dark spectres: a murderous hooded woman, an anonymous black car, and an old enemy sitting in a cold prison cell plotting his revenge.

These threads will converge, on the burial mound of lost souls. On the path where the living and the dead intersect.

On the White Road . . .
