DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging book discussion of  The Trees by Perciv
 al Everett. \n\nAn uncanny literary thriller addressing the painful legacy
  of lynching in the US\, by the author of Telephone Percival Everett's The
  Trees is a must-listen that opens with a series of brutal murders in the 
 rural town of Money\, Mississippi. When a pair of detectives from the Miss
 issippi Bureau of Investigation arrive\, they meet expected resistance fro
 m the local sheriff\, his deputy\, the coroner\, and a string of racist wh
 ite townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle\, for at each crime scene ther
 e is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till. The dete
 ctives suspect that these are killings of retribution\, but soon discover 
 that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country. Somethi
 ng truly strange is afoot. As the bodies pile up\, the MBI detectives seek
  answers from a local root doctor who has been documenting every lynching 
 in the country for years\, uncovering a history that refuses to be buried.
  In this bold\, provocative book\, Everett takes direct aim at racism and 
 police violence. The Trees is an enormously powerful novel of lasting impo
 rtance from an author with his finger on America's pulse.\n\nTo register a
