Intruder In The Dust
William Faulkner
Paperback
(A Signet book, Aug. 16, 1948)
The crowd was wild with fury. The old Negro had killed a white man and they were out for blood, his blood. Lucas must pay for this murder. But more than that, he must pay for all the years he had refused to act like his white neighbors thought he should act. Here is William Faulkner's explosive story of an arrogant old man who faced death rather than relinquish his identity... and a young boy who broke the law to save him.
