The Trees
A Mississippi procedural in which a body will not stay in the morgue, and the joke stops being one.
Percival Everett writes a detective novel in which the bodies of white men in rural Mississippi keep appearing beside the corpse of a Black man who does not stay in the morgue. Savagely funny, then not funny at all, it turns a lynching history into a procedural that will not let the reader settle.
