A Legacy of Vengeance — John Armistead

In an explosion of madness, the years of peace between the black and white communities of the Mississippi hill country are shattered. Four men--a preacher, a lawyer, an auto mechanic, and an insurance salesman--have been killed by someone who drives a 1960s white Pontiac. In his search for the killer, Sheriff Bramlett is hurled back to the tumultuous era of night-riders, church burnings, and Klansmen.
