About This Item
New York:: Mulholland Books / Little Brown,, (2016). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (toning to edges of textblock) . First printing. A thought-provoking novel by this award-winning writer that asks "What would present-day America look like if the Civil War never happened?" A young black manhas struck a bargain with federal law enforcement, working as a bounty hunter for the US Marshall Service in exchange for his freedom. He's got plenty of work. In this alternate America, slavery continues in four states called 'the Hard Four.' On the trail of a runaway he arrives in Indianapolis and attempts to infiltrate the local cell of a abolitionist movement called the Underground Airlines. A book which is a ground-breaking novel, an imaginative thriller, and a story of an America that is more like our own than we want to admit, this was named one of the Best Books of the Year by NPR, Slate, Publishers Weekly, and more and winner of the 2016 Sidewise Award for Alternate History. 322 pp.
