Description
In the summer of 1958, a small Texas town called Dumont is changing fast—and when a murder cracks the surface, the search for answers pulls a young boy into a world of corrupt authority, simmering racial tensions, and secrets that have been buried for years. As he navigates family loyalties and the uneasy friendships that form in the shadow of danger, he discovers that justice doesn’t always arrive clean or on time. With ice cream-shop charm and hard-edged suspense, this coming-of-age mystery blends crime with the emotional weight of growing up in a place where the rules are bent for some and enforced for others. Joe R. Lansdale’s gritty, propulsive style turns a missing-person mystery into a sharp meditation on childhood, community, and the fine dark line between innocence and complicity.
