The Ashes of Meridian

In the fading light of a modern civil rights lawsuit, a traffic stop turned brutal unearths the bones of a twelve-year ethnic war. Graham Greene’s shadow falls over Meridian, where an old executioner and the last survivor of a forgotten massacre are dragged from silence. As a young lawyer digs through state archives, the ghosts of Edenvale rise, and two dying men wage a final, desperate war of memory, guilt, and retribution—proving that the past is never dead, it only crumbles into dust that smothers the living.
