Dixie Noir — Kirk Curnutt

After ten years in prison, all that disgraced former Alabama football star Ennis Skinner wants is to make amends. Earning forgiveness isn't easy in Montgomery, however -- a city still haunted by its complicated legacy as the birthplace of both the Civil War and Civil Rights. Reunited with his ailing father, a one-time hero in the Movement, Ennis is drawn into investigating the disappearance of the daughter of the dead girlfriend responsible for his downfall.
