About author(s): Percival Everett is author to more than thirty books.
The Trees is an enormously powerful novel of lasting importance from an author with his finger on America\'s pulse.
In this bold, provocative book, Everett takes direct aim at racism and police violence, and does so in a fast-paced style that ensures the reader can\'t look away.
As the bodies pile up, the MBI detectives seek answers from a local root doctor who has been documenting every lynching in the country for years, uncovering a history that refuses to be buried.
Something truly strange is afoot.
The detectives suspect that these are killings of retribution, but soon discover that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country.
The murders present a puzzle, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till.
When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist White townsfolk.
