Om Seraphim

"A 16-year-old confesses to the murder of a local celebrity--a hero of New Orleans's shaky post-storm recovery.

As Ben tries to disrupt a corrupt and racist criminal justice system that believes an inexplicable crime has been solved, he confronts his own legacy of loss and faith. And as the novel hurtles towards its tragic, redemptive conclusion, Ben finds himself an onlooker and a perpetrator where he thought he was the hero"--
