Description
In Alexandria, Mississippi, twelve-year-old Harriet Cleve Dufresnes lives in a world shaped by the unsolved murder of her brother, Robin, found hanging from a tree years earlier. The event has haunted her family and the small town, leaving a legacy of devastation. Unnervingly bright and insufferably determined, Harriet decides it is time to find Robin’s killer and exact her revenge.
Aided by her worshipful friend Hely, Harriet sets out to unmask the murderer. She crosses her town’s rigid lines of race and caste, delving deep into her family’s history of loss. This quest, fueled by the fiction of Kipling and Robert Louis Stevenson, forces Harriet to confront the shadows of childhood, innocence, and evil that permeate her world.
