Lee Donne agrees to housesit for her absent-minded grand­fa­ther. Soon, someone is trying to scare her out of the house in Eugene, Oregon. Buried deep in the house, she discovers why: old photos of young men lynching a black man. One of those men is now running for President as a third-party candidate.

Lee goes on the run and takes her story to a newspaper. She decides to hide in plain sight, à la The Purloined Letter, and heads to New Orleans, posing as a newspaper pho­tog­ra­ph­er.

Fairly en­ter­tain­ing and in­tel­li­gent thriller.
