A KILLER IS TURNING THEIR TERROR BACK ON THEM. June 21, 1982. Exactly one year after the arrest of Wayne Williams for the Atlanta Child Murders, the body of a high-ranking Klu Klux Klan member is found hanging in the woods outside Augusta. For Detective Carla Maynard, it’s a gruesome but isolated crime in her jurisdiction—until a second Klan victim appears, displayed with chilling symbolism eight miles outside Atlanta. Now, it’s clear: this isn’t random. It’s a reckoning. As the bodies mount, each killing more audacious than the last, a terrifying pattern emerges. A vigilante, or a group, is executing a deadly campaign of retribution, turning the Klan’s own tools of fear against them. The messages left behind are not for the police, but for the powerful, hateful institutions hiding in plain sight. Caught between a secretive killer and a community on the brink of explosion, Carla must navigate a political minefield. The media scent a war, and every hour she doesn’t have an arrest brings the city closer to a race riot that would burn Georgia to the ground. But the deeper she digs, the more the line between justice and vengeance blurs. Can she stop a murderer the community sees as a hero, before the entire state ignites?
