Join our Fiction Book Group online to discuss [The Trees](https://menlopark.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3345683), by Percival Everett.

When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive to investigate a series of brutal murders in a rural town, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till.

The detectives suspect that these are killings of retribution but discover that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country. As the bodies pile up, the detectives uncover a history that refuses to be buried.

Menlo Park’s Fiction Book Group meets virtually on the second Tuesday of each month.
