{"product_id":"spartanburg-paperback","title":"Spartanburg - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1913 Spartanburg, South Carolina, a black man hovers in the county jail, arrested for a horrendous crime against a white woman, and aware of a howling mob outside the jailhouse walls determined to lynch him. Basically true, this novel tells the story of a brave sheriff, denied help by the city mayor and the state governor, fighting to protect his prisoner from the mob with the help of a few deputies. Even if he succeeds, what chance is there for justice for a black man in a white man's court at a time when Jim Crow laws and culture ruled in the South? A mix of racial stereotypes, hatred, long-held opinions, a desire for integrity, duty-bound lawyers, and a fair-minded judge lead to what might be a surprising conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68189575184607,"sku":"9781489721655","price":27.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/1JWLGKnKeI9781489721655.webp?v=1792533061","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/spartanburg-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
