Cosby keeps his eye on the story and the pedal to the metal.” —Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review A Black sheriff. A serial killer. A small town ready to combust. The new novel from New York Times bestselling and Los Angeles Times Book Prize-winning author S. A. Cosby, \"one of the most muscular, distinctive, grab-you-by-both-ears voices in American crime fiction.” — Washington Post . “An atmospheric pressure cooker.” — People Titus Crown is the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, Virginia. In recent decades, quiet Charon has had only two murders. But after years of working as an FBI agent, Titus knows better than anyone that while his hometown might seem like a land of moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle, secrets always fester under the surface. Then a year to the day after Titus’s election, a school teacher is killed by a former student and the student is fatally shot by Titus’s deputies. As Titus investigates the shootings, he unearths terrible crimes and a serial killer who has been hiding in plain sight, haunting the dirt lanes and woodland clearings of Charon. With the killer’s possible connections to a local church and the town’s harrowing history weighing on him, Titus projects confidence about closing the case while concealing a painful secret from his own past. At the same time, he also has to contend with a far-right group that wants to hold a parade in celebration of the town’s Confederate history. Charon is Titus’s home and his heart. But where faith and violence meet, there will be a reckoning. Powerful and unforgettable, All the Sinners Bleed confirms S. A. Cosby as “one of the most muscular, distinctive, grab-you-by-both-ears voices in American crime fiction” ( The Washington Post ).","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781250831927","publication_date":"20240709","publisher":"Flatiron Books","slug":"all-the-sinners-bleed","subtitle":"A Novel","title":"All the Sinners Bleed"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"FIC049050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Mystery","score":0.8303,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC031010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Crime Fiction","score":0.8009,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC049070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Urban Fiction","score":0.7999,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"FIC049050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Mystery","score":0.8303,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC031010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Crime Fiction","score":0.8009,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC049070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Black Urban Fiction","score":0.7999,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"FIC031010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Crime Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC049050","confidence_band":"high","label":"Black Mystery","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC074000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Southern Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Black Mystery","score":0.8303,"slug":"black-mystery"},{"label":"Crime Fiction","score":0.8009,"slug":"crime-fiction"},{"label":"Black Urban Fiction","score":0.7999,"slug":"black-urban-fiction"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Black Mystery","Good for readers interested in book club","Good for fans of Mystery"],"related_lists":[{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-fic049050-african-american-mystery-detective","title":"African American Mystery & Detective Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-fic049050-african-american-mystery-detective"},{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-fic049070-african-american-urban","title":"African American Urban Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-fic049070-african-american-urban"},{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-fic031010-thrillers-crime","title":"Thrillers Crime Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-fic031010-thrillers-crime"}],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["S.
