New York: Ecco Press / Harper Collins, (2020). First edition - The author's first novel an "exploration of American politics, set in a small South Carolina town, about a political operative running a dark money campaign for his corporate clients." Dre has been sent there with $250,000 to introduce a ballot initiative on behalf of a mining company. As an outsider and an African American, he can't be the one to collect signatures, so he hires a young couple to act as the public face. The "land grab is disguised as a righteous fight for faith and liberty. As lines are crossed and lives ruined, Dre's increasingly cutthroat campaign threatens the very soul of Carthage County and perhaps the last remnants of his own humanity." Cover praise from Lorrie Moore and Stewart O'Nan among others. On the basis of this novel, Wright was named to the USA Today's 2020 list of Black novelists to read. 311 pp.
