      What is the difference between justice and revenge? That question is deeply explored in this great novel written by Stetson. Between 30 and 40 years ago tons of horrific crimes were being committed against blacks of southern towns. The white men who committed many of these crimes not only got away with what they did, but in many instances bragged about it. Justice for these victims was never received, until now. All these years later, Professor Martin Matheson is teaching his classes about each individual case that a white man was knowingly guilty of committing the crime and not made to pay any kind of punishment for his deeds. Teaching a class is no crime until one by one all the men on Matheson's list start showing up killed in a way similar to what they inflicted on their victims decades ago. Now with the death of Earvin Cooper, there is evidence to suggest that Matheson may be the killer. Can prosecutor James Reynolds convict him of a crime that many black people think was well deserved, or will defense attorney Todd Miller get him off? This is a very well written book and I will keep it for a reread on a rainy day in the future. I feel like now that I have read it I must rush out to add the rest of Stetson's works to my library. I can not wait to get another one and start reading it.
