![]() ![]() I've listened to loads of really long but let you down-or really just plain awful books recently. ![]() I chose this book because right now I'm reading outside my usual genre to mix things up a little. Darren must solve the crimes - and save himself in the process - before Lark's long-simmering racial fault lines erupt.įrom a writer and producer of the Emmy winning Fox TV show Empire, Bluebird, Bluebird is a rural noir suffused with the unique music, color, and nuance of East Texas. When his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he travels up Highway 59 to the small town of Lark, where two murders - a black lawyer from Chicago and a local white woman - have stirred up a hornet's nest of resentment. 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. ![]() 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. "In Bluebird, Bluebird, Attica Locke had both mastered the thriller and exceeded it." (Ann Patchett) 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 ). ![]()
