Beschreibung
Lord of Dark Places passes violently through decades of American abuses and deadly circumstances-lynchings, displacement from the Great Migration, and discrimination on the basis of race remain the plight within the Black experience, particularly for Titus and Joe Market. Originally published in 1970, Hal Bennett's novel is nevertheless right on time to depict the lives and losses of Black men for a new generation of readers. Uniquely a detective story, a tragedy, and a dark comedy, Bennett's work is the coveted fruit of a society built from bad seeds.
