All the Sinners Bleed

S. A. Cosby

Sheriff Titus Crown was well aware of the dark past of his hometown, Charon County, Virginia, which included crimes based on race and mass killings sparked by envy. As the sheriff, his main objective was to safeguard the residents of his area, partly to make amends for his own dark secret - the unlawful killing of a white supremacist terrorist during his time as an FBI agent, who was attempting to surrender after murdering Titus's team. As Titus delves deeper into the investigation, the murderer becomes more desperate, leading to a rise in the body count. Each individual connected to the killer that Titus uncovers ends up dead in increasingly gruesome ways. The crucial clues that eventually point Titus towards the correct suspect involve the tale of a Caucasian woman who gave away her mixed-race child for an illicit adoption three decades ago, and a truck lock forced down the throat of one of the victims, hinting at an employee of the nearby flag factory. In the ultimate confrontation between the sheriff and the killer, despite sustaining a stab wound, Titus succeeds in apprehending the murderer and rescuing Lavon, the younger sibling of Latrell, whose actions initiated the revelation of the serial killer's secrets by killing his partner, teacher Jeff Spearman. Finally freed from his burden of remorse and self-condemnation, Titus steps down from his role as sheriff. His parting gesture before leaving the town is to bring down a controversial Confederate statue. Want to introduce to your team? Did you know we also provide corporate subscriptions?
