Justice Walks at Night (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279439423)

In the bayous of Louisiana, where water remembers and shadows keep their own counsel, there are stories that do not ask to be believed. They ask to be witnessed.

Before the Civil War and beyond its end, people whispered of something moving through the dark. Enslaved men and women spoke of a presence that watched the roads, turned danger aside, and punished those who hunted them. Slave catchers spoke of fear. Survivors spoke of mercy.

They called him Old Baptiste.

But before the legend, there was a man named Isaac. Before the night claimed him, there was daylight, love, and a woman of faith who believed justice belonged to God, even when men delayed it.

Told through the eyes of those who lived in his shadow and under his protection, this novel traces the long, uneven road from bondage to freedom, from silence to witness. It is a story of restraint rather than excess, of courage that does not shout, and of justice that walks when the world sleeps.

A haunting work of historical fiction, Justice Walks at Night asks what it costs to intervene, what it means to endure, and whether redemption is found in endings or in the lives we change along the way.
