Terrific entertainment'  Stephen King on Darktown  Lightning Men follows the multi-award-nominated, highly acclaimed crime debut Darktown into a city on the brink of huge and violent change - and full of secrets. Atlanta, 1950. Crime divides, the fight unites. Officer Denny Rakestraw and 'Negro Officers' Lucius Boggs and Tommy Smith face the Klan, gangs and family warfare in a rapidly changing Atlanta.  Black families - including Smith's sister and brother-in-law - are moving into Rake's formerly all-white neighbourhood, leading his brother-in-law, a proud Klansman, to launch a scheme to 'save' their streets. When those efforts leave a man dead, Rake is forced to choose between loyalty to family or the law. Meanwhile, Boggs has outraged his preacher father by courting a domestic, whose dangerous ex-boyfriend is then released from prison. As Boggs, Smith, and their all-black precinct contend with violent drug dealers fighting for turf in new territory, their personal dramas draw them closer to the fires that threaten to consume Atlanta once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for Thomas Mullen 'Magnificent and shocking'  Sunday Times  'Written with a ferocious passion that'll knock the wind out of you'  New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43697642274860,"sku":"9780349143101","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780349143101.jpg?v=1722597704","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9780349143101","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
