INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Fresh and exhilarating. . . Cosby keeps his eye on the story and the pedal to the metal.”
—Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review
A Black sheriff. A serial killer. A small town ready to combust. The new novel from New York Times bestselling and Los Angeles Times Book Prize-winning author S. A. Cosby, “one of the most muscular, distinctive, grab-you-by-both-ears voices in American crime fiction.”
—Washington Post
“An atmospheric pressure cooker.”
—People
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).

Book Recs To Beat a Reading SLUMP!
Reading slumps happen to the best of us. These 12 books are my go-to recommendations when someone needs to get out of one fast. Short, twisty, and impossible to put down. They’re all thrillers so some run darker than others. If you want a personal recommendation, drop your darkness tolerance in the comments on a scale of 1 to 10 and any triggers you have and I’ll point you in the right direction. Are any of these already on your TBR? And be honest, are you in a slump right now? . . . #thrillerbooks #readingslump #bookstagram #thrillerreads #bookrecommendations 🏷️ reading slump books, thriller recommendations, twisty thrillers, books to read, bookstagram community, thriller lovers, compulsive reads, book suggestions, TBR list, reading community
