Description
Just out of prison after serving time on a drug charge, Roper Rackard comes across a woman' s body while mowing the tall grass at the far end of his new boss' s property, and although he is innocent of her death, Roper panics. Terrified that he will be charged with murdering a white woman and sent back to jail, he decides to hide the body where it won' t be found. As days and then weeks pass, and the search for the missing woman continues, Roper begins to doubt himself. Did he do the right thing? Why didn' t he call for help? Will anybody believe he is innocent and, most important, how can he possibly come forward now?
