To the people of New Iberia, Aaron Crown's ways are the stuff of 'poor white piney-woods folklore.' His family were shiftless timber people from north Louisiana who brought their ways into the Cajun wetlands: poaching deer, stealing livestock, trailing rumors of ties to the Ku Klux Klan. No one was surprised when Crown was accused of assassinating the most famous black civil rights lawyer in Louisiana. But it took twenty-eight years for the system to put him in Angola Penitentiary.

Now Crown is proclaming his innocence-and asking Dave Robicheaux hor his help.
