Midnight Atlanta is the stunning new novel in the award-nominated, critically acclaimed Darktown series, and sees a newspaper editor murdered against the backdrop of Rosa Parks' protest and Martin Luther King Jnr's emergence. Atlanta, 1956. When Arthur Bishop, editor of Atlanta's leading black newspaper, is killed in his office, cop-turned-journalist Tommy Smith finds himself in the crosshairs of the racist cops he's been trying to avoid. To clear his name, he needs to learn more about the dangerous story Bishop had been working on. Meanwhile, Smith's ex-partner Lucius Boggs and white sergeant Joe McInnis - the only white cop in the black precinct - find themselves caught between meddling federal agents, racist detectives, and Communist activists as they try to solve the murder. With a young Rev. Martin Luther King Jnr making headlines of his own, and tensions in the city growing, Boggs and Smith find themselves back on the same side in a hunt for the truth that will put them both at risk. Soon to be a major TV series from Jamie Foxx and Sony Pictures Television. PRAISE FOR THE DARKTOWN SERIES 'A brilliant blending of crime, mystery, and American history.

Book 3 in the Darktown series! The writing is superior in this novel! I loved how the story switched between narrator and characters, it definitely kept me interested and thinking! Beyond that, the level of realism and the character description was fantastic. I feel like I was involved in the story and the characters were my friends.

Overall so glad I've kept up with the series and I will continue to read it if book 4 is ever written!! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟

Working my way through book 3!! Let me tell you the writing in this novel is superior to the last novels. This is definitely going be my favorite out of the series.

A cop turned journalist. A good man killed. A fight to discover the real killer. A city in conflict. A country waking up. Set in Atlanta 1956.

Literary fiction at it's finest. I predict a 4.5 star rating at least.

Inspired by the fatal shooting of a Black newspaper editor, this brilliant third entry into the "Darktown" series is well worth picking up. As MLK begins the Montgomery bus boycott, things are both easier and harder for the small team working crime in Atlanta's Black community. When an influential man is shot, the leads are overwhelming. The FBI are tailing him, his former communist links are busy and his wife is having an affair....

MicheleinPhilly I had no idea there was a 3rd in this series! I should probably get around to the 2nd. 😬 3y
charl08 @MicheleinPhilly I've found all three really gripping reading. Hoping he keeps writing them! 3y

...Any story has the writer in it, no matter how hard the scribe might try to erase himself.

The year is 1956. One of the first black officer's in Atlanta, GA, drastically changes their career path after 2 years on the job and becomes a journalist.

Set in the time of Rosa Park's boycott and the emergence of Martlin Luther King Jr.

This is book 3 in the Darktown series.

I can not wait to finally get my hands on this and read it! I'm already so intrigued. Going to find a copy right now!

And this cover is just stunning!
