"Two people are found hanging naked from a tree in the woods of northern Minnesota. Waht makes the situation particularly sensitive is that the bodies are of a black man and a white woman. Lynching is the word everyone's trying not to say, but as Lucas Davenport begins to discover, the murders are not all what they appear to be. Adn there is worse to come -- much, much worse. "

This was the first John Sandford book I've read, and I liked it. The characters were rich and compelling.
