Pierce’s Pick: Our Man in the Dark by Rashad Harrison

This week, J. Kingston Pierce chooses Our Man in the Dark by Rashad Harrison.

Set during the 1960s, Harrison’s debut crime novel follows John Estem, a bookkeeper who steals money from Martin Luther King Jr.’s organization, only to be found out by the FBI and coerced into playing informant against America’s most prominent civil rights leader -- a man whose reputation the feds hope to destroy.
