Sinopsis
The fight lasted a few minutes. The lie that followed would last a lifetime.
Patricia Horn knows how easily a young Black life can be lost to a system where truth matters less than who wins and who pays. She lived it.
When a school fight leaves a white student gravely injured, her seventeen-year-old son Tyrene finds himself at the center of forces driven by vengeance and power. The injured boy’s father, a veteran police officer determined to see Tyrene’s life destroyed, aligns with another officer whose white supremacist beliefs run deep. Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor, nursing a personal vendetta against Tyrene’s defense attorney, sees the case as an opportunity for retribution.
Patricia survived this system once. She will not let it take her son. And she will not fight alone.
Yet something else moves quietly. Something beautiful, something sacred—older than any law written by human hands— steps into the present.
Some reckonings need more than human justice. Some wrongs demand more.
The Fourth Cross is a gripping drama of racial injustice, a mother’s fierce resolve, and a reckoning that will not be denied.
2026 Black Caucus ALA Literary Award Honor Winner
Midwest Book Review:
“Libraries and readers seeking novels that explore racism and prejudice from both sides of the picture, yet retain a bigger-picture perspective on its impact, will welcome The Fourth Cross’ many thought-provoking moments of revelation.”
Netgalley reviewer:
“With solid writing and a powerful storyline, Spike Adams (a retired judge) has written a blisteringly powerful (and equally heart rending) novel that is an indictment of racism that heralds back to the "Jim Crow" days but is all too prevalent in our current political climate.”
5 stars from this reviewer, I will definitely look for more books from this skilled author!
