by Francis Spufford
In an alternate 1920s USA, the Indigenous city of Cahokia remains a sovereign nation and diverse metropolis. When a white man is murdered in what appears to be a ritualistic sacrifice, racial tensions mount, and the city is on the verge of upheaval. Full of historical detail and grappling with themes of identity and belonging, Cahokia Jazz is a rich detective noir worthy of Raymond Chandler.
