SUMMARY:LOC National Book Festival - SA Cosby
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books\, in collaboration with WHRO in Virginia\, presents S.A. Cosby\, an Anthony\, Barry\, and Macavity Award-winning writer from southeastern Virginia. \nTitus Crowne is the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County. A former FBI agent and security expert\, Titus came home to take care of his father and look out for his troubled younger brother. He ran for Sheriff to make a difference\, especially in the Black community\, which has so often been treated unfairly by the police. \nBut a year to the day after his election\, a school shooting rocks the town. A beloved teacher is killed by a former student\, and as Titus attempts to deescalate and get the boy to surrender\, his deputies fire a fatal shot. \nIn the investigation\, it becomes clear that the student they shot had been abused by the dead teacher\, as well as by unidentified perpetrators. The trail leads to buried bodies—and secrets. While Titus tries to track down a killer hiding in plain sight\, while balancing daily duties like protecting Confederate pride marchers\, he must face what it means to be a Black man wearing a police uniform in the American South. \nAlso available on Facebook and Youtube. \nExplore the 2023 Library of Congress National Book Festival Virtual Author Talks \n\nAbout SA Cosby\nS.
