Just so you put some in the bath. Harry and Tom are brother and sister, they live in acceptable conditions which are far from luxurious thanks to the fact that their father has agreed to be the constable (a police officer well below Sheriff) in addition to business barber he exercises in the nearby small town. Over the course of their travels the two children found the body of a black woman tied to a tree with barbed wire .... This is the beginning of a series of crimes perpetrated on black women, until that white is part of lot .... In this small town, racist in the extreme, black is allowed to gut them (or so it is claimed) and the police should not interfere, by cons soon is described as a white KKK (Ku Klux KAN) is justice itself ...
It is well written, we know what happens to all the characters portrayed either in the course of the novel or in the epilogue of the story. With a few passages violence is contained, the narrator does not agree with gore except for autopsy unfortunately Harry and his friends were able to glimpse ... the text is very successful in making the lifestyle and atmosphere that prevailed at that time in the southern US states.
