For twelve years, the crime remains unsolved, an uncomfortable piece of history that the Cleves prefer to never discuss.That is until Robin's sister, Insufferable Genius Harriet who was only six months old at the time, decides she must solve the mystery of her brother's untimely death. In doing so she travels the lines of race and class in her hometown, discovers the sprawling history of her family, and draws the ire of the local Ratliff clan, the middle brother Danny of which she suspects is Robin's killer.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |
