A stunning, audacious new thriller that will shock you, horrify you, and unsettle you, and that's exactly the point. As brave as it is brutal, it lets nothing and nobody off the hook. A book that everyone should be reading right now. New Yorkers Carter and Seth chop up old music to make it new again, ripping off black culture to line white pockets. They are young, hungry, and talented. But one day they stumble on an old blues song—an undiscovered gem just waiting to be found—and land themselves in a heap of trouble. Seeking answers, Seth travels deep into the heart of the old South, accompanied by Carter's bewitching sister Leonie. But this is America, where ghosts lie uneasy in shallow graves, and tugging one loose thread can unravel a bloody history of injustice. The closer Seth gets to the haunting truth, the more he feels pursued. White Tears is a nail-biting ride.
