- C. Sternberg
As the sweltering days of summer settle over 1822 Charleston, a powder keg of growing tensions between the Low Country's enslaved Africans & their suspicious oppressors is ready to ignite. For months now, concealed behind polite, obedient gestures of servitude, more than two thousand slaves, led by freeman Denmark Vesey, make ready a bloody revolt against their oppressors.
" Kelly] returns with a sharp, honed storytelling craft...unflinching historical fiction with a biting look at American slavery."- E.A. Poste " In the Failing Light] shows the true raw brutality of slavery-laid bare in the sunlight as I have never before seen it portrayed.'"
