Thomas Mullen writes the opposite of escapist fiction: his
thrillers force the reader to confront the realities of "skewed"
Southern justice, police brutality, civic corruption and
mind-boggling racial prejudice . . . Mullen is "an expert
button-pusher". His heartfelt, heavy-hitting, feel-bad fiction
makes your blood boil
