Eighty-nine years later, he faces a graver trial of conscience: Jerome Manning, a falsely accused Black father, is railroaded toward execution by a civic leader desperate to bury the town's sins. Peter must decide whether vengeance or mercy will finally break the century-long curse-and whether ordinary people can rise to meet that choice. The result is a riveting dual-timeline tale that blends the dread of \u003cem\u003eThe Green Mile\u003c\/em\u003e with the moral heft of \u003cem\u003eThe Underground Railroad\u003c\/em\u003e. Readers will fly through its cinematic chapters, yet the novel's piercing questions about justice, race, and forgiveness linger-ideal for book-club debates, classroom discussion, and eye-catching store displays. Stock it prominently and hand-sell it boldly; once patrons step onto Phantom Ridge, they'll press this story into friends' hands and come back asking for more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeff B.
