Everyone grows up in their own way. Young Charles (Chick) Mallinson, faced with a difficult choice for any white boy of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, makes a truly adult step and helps to save a haughty black man, unjustly convicted by an angry mob, from Lynch's court. He, his black peer, and a respectable elderly lady decide to do something that not every adult man would dare to do in order to restore justice, save an innocent soul, and have peace of mind with their own conscience and humanity.

This is a fascinating detective story set against the historical backdrop of the nineteenth-century American South, flavoured with Faulkner's characteristic philosophy.
