A heartbreaking and powerful story about a black boy killed by a police officer, drawing connections through history, from award-winning author Jewell Parker Rhodes. Only the living can make the world better. Live and make it better. Twelve-year-old Jerome is shot by a police officer who mistakes his toy gun for a real threat. As a ghost, he observes the devastation that's been unleashed on his family and community in the wake of what they see as an unjust and brutal killing. Soon Jerome meets another ghost: Emmett Till, a boy from a very different time but similar circumstances. Emmett helps Jerome process what has happened, on a journey towards recognizing how historical racism may have led to the events that ended his life. Jerome also meets Sarah, the daughter of the police officer, who grapples with her father's actions. Once again Jewell Parker Rhodes deftly weaves historical and socio-political layers into a gripping and poignant story about how children and families face the complexities of today's world, and how one boy grows to understand American blackness in the aftermath of his own death.

Cecil John Rhodes lived from 1853 to 1902, a brief span, and was the renowned and world-famous founder of Rhodesia (1890-1980), the leading personality and figure in the Victorian world's late nineteenth-century Africa empire. Rhodes' endeavours shaped the domains of late nineteenth and twentieth century Zambesia, and set down the trajectories marking southern Africa, while the Great Powers' record of empire in Africa proved greatly inferior to Rhodesia's. Zambesia's long history of continuous turbulence on a troubled plateau was reversed by Rhodes' Pioneer Column in 1890 when the 'First Rhodesians' arrived following five decades of itinerant white presence in Zambesia. Rhodesia was forged on blood, sweat and tears: no easy task. Rhodes had been the main architect and visionary behind its formation, the continental geopolitics around Zambesia, establishing enduring state boundaries in its undefined geographies, the legal and institutional systems, corporate world and political economy. All came from pioneer endeavour which reversed feudalism on the plateau and brought the fruits of civilisation and prosperity into Zambesia. Generations of Rhodesians followed this pioneering path for ninety years, building the longest-established modern state seen in Africa, one that succumbed to civil war and the perilous, shifting tides in Africa's histories. Apart from what is 'left behind', with few Rhodesians living in the inheritor state, there has remained continuity in Rhodesiana and its legacies on the world stage.

In this tenth installment of the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series, the Blacklin County Texas law enforcer is back to solve even more mysteries. Some of the most amusing sequences in Crider's Blacklin county mysteries are set in the jailhouse, and star the ongoing word battles between its two septuagarian denizens, Hack the dispatcher and Lawton, the jailer. This time no one at the jailhouse is laughing and Rhodes has a new problem. Not only is the jailhouse itself rumored to be haunted, but a mysterious corpse is found in an open grave in the neighboring town. Rhodes uses his laid back sleuthing skills to find the answers to these puzzling events, which Crider depicts with his usual humor, suspense and small town ambience.
