“Fresh and exhilarating. . . Cosby keeps his eye on the story and the pedal to the metal.”
—Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review
A groundbreaking achievement in crime fiction, All the Sinners Bleed by S. A. Cosby, acclaimed for his gripping narrative style, thrusts readers into the heart of Charon County, Virginia, a community where tensions simmer beneath its tranquil facade.
Titus Crown, the inaugural Black sheriff of Charon, confronts a town riddled with secrets and the aftermath of violence. Amidst the idyllic backdrop of moonshine and honeysuckle, Titus, formerly a seasoned FBI agent, discovers that Charon harbors deep-rooted darkness. Following a schoolteacher's murder by a former student, Titus's deputies fatally shoot the perpetrator, setting off a chain of events that unravel the town's fragile peace.
As Titus delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers evidence of long-concealed crimes and exposes a serial killer hidden in plain sight among the backwoods and quiet lanes of Charon. Haunted by the town's troubling past and the shadowy ties linking the killer to a local church, Titus grapples with personal demons while projecting an aura of unwavering resolve to solve the case.
Meanwhile, Charon faces external pressures from a far-right faction determined to commemorate its Confederate legacy with a provocative parade. For Titus, Charon is not just a job—it's his sanctuary and the keeper of his deepest secrets. In this collision of faith and violence, Titus finds himself at the precipice of a moral reckoning that could shatter the town's fragile peace forever.
All the Sinners Bleed is a tour de force, solidifying S. A. Cosby's reputation as a master of American crime fiction. Praised for his visceral storytelling and unflinching prose, Cosby weaves a narrative that is as relentless as it is profound. With its evocative portrayal of a community on the edge and a protagonist driven by both duty and personal turmoil, this novel is destined to leave an indelible mark on readers.
