"Poignant, powerful, earthy...a novel of Southern racial confrontation in which a group of elderly black men band together against whites who seek vengeance for the murder of one of their own."-- "Booklist" "A fine novel...there is a denouement that will shock and move readers as much as it does the characters."-- "Philadelphia Inquirer"
