    Creator

    Locke, Attica

    Abstract

    A "heartbreakingly resonant" thriller about the explosive intersection of love, race, and justice from a writer and producer of the Emmy-winning Fox TV show Empire (USA Today). "In Bluebird, Bluebird, Attica Locke had both mastered the thriller and exceeded it."—Ann Patchett. When it comes to law and order, East Texas plays by its own rules—a fact that Darren Mathews, a Black Texas Ranger, knows all too well. Deeply ambivalent about growing up Black in the Lone Star State, he was the first in his family to get as far away from Texas as he could.
