A Fine Dark Line by Joe R. Lansdale
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Basically a Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys mystery that tries to confront the complexities of early 20th Century racism. It comes across as a white guy's fantasy of racism and some triumph over it while going for a I-was-never-the-same-after-that-summer ending.
Ugh.
I doubt I will ever read another novel by this author.
