A Black sheriff. A serial killer.
A small town ready to combust.

Titus Crown is the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, Virginia. In recent decades, quiet Charon has had only two murders. But after years of working as an FBI agent, Titus knows better than anyone that while his hometown might seem like a land of moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle, secrets always fester under the surface.

Then a year to the day after Titus’s election, a school teacher is killed by a former student and the student is fatally shot by Titus’s deputies. As Titus investigates the shootings, he unearths terrible crimes and a serial killer who has been hiding in plain sight, haunting the dirt lanes and woodland clearings of Charon.

With the killer’s possible connections to a local church and the town’s harrowing history weighing on him, Titus projects confidence about closing the case while concealing a painful secret from his own past. At the same time, he also has to contend with a far-right group that wants to hold a parade in celebration of the town’s Confederate history.

Charon is Titus’s home and his heart. But where faith and violence meet, there will be a reckoning.

Powerful and unforgettable, All the Sinners Bleed confirms S. A. Cosby as “one of the most muscular, distinctive, grab-you-by-both-ears voices in American crime fiction” (The Washington Post).

SA Cosby is my new favorite author

This is Cosby’s best yet, detailing personal priorities, internal battles facing off with external battles, honoring the past, and living the present. I really REALLY liked this book.

Fantastic narrator!

The book is a bit gorey - but the story is great. But the narration is what is most stellar!

Gripping but be prepared for the violence

The violence is graphic and gruesome, much of the violence directed upon children. the story is a dark view of the worst excesses of human nature, but nothing that has not happened over and over throughout human history. The main character has a tremendous bond with his father and brother which helped s hold him together through the darkest of times.

WOW!!!

Absolutely an excellent read… I’ve read all this great authors books and this one is probably his best! Loved it and didn’t want it to end. It’s real and hits straight to the heart and hopefully makes people pause and reflect on the deep sad but brutally true message here. Thank you for sharing a deep message in your books, actually reminds me to remember the golden rule about judging others. Yes, an awesome book that keeps you entertained and at the same time makes you think and wonder about racism today and how it’s so brutal and is tearing all us humans apart with hate🙏❤️🙏

My new favorite!!

Fantastic book. Kept me on my toes. The narration was fantastic perfect choice for this book. It can be pretty gruesome at times but it worked for this story.
