Synopsis
Mississippi Burning
Two FBI agents investigating the murder of civil rights workers during the 60s seek to breach the conspiracy of silence in a small Southern town where segregation divides black and white. The younger agent trained in FBI school runs up against the small town ways of his partner, a former sheriff.
Tears to a Glass Eye
In 1992, semi-retired detective and author Martin Dye is hired to track down a missing duffel bag of cash tied to a fatal 1970s crash that left one friend dead and another in a wheelchair. As Martin follows the trail through old classmates, small-town gossip, and buried lies, he uncovers a dark legacy of drugs, betrayal, and shattered lives - and learns some secrets refuse to stay buried.
