Product Description
It's the 1960s. A hot August night lies heavy over the Carolinas. The corpse -- legs sprawled, stomach down on the concrete pavement, arms above the head -- brings the patrol car to a halt. The local police pick up a black stranger named Virgil Tibbs, only to discover that their most likely suspect is a homicide detective from California -- and the racially tense community's single hope in solving a brutal murder that turns up no witnesses, no motives, no clues.


Download Description
Winner of an Edgar Award and recently named one of the top one hundred mystery novels of the century, John Dudley Ball¿s classic In the Heat of the Night tells the story of Virgil Tibbs, a black detective tracking a murderer in a small Southern town. The novel inspired both the 1967 film starring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger and the television series starring Carroll O¿Connor and continues to delight readers with its gripping narrative and honest look at race relations during the Civil Rights Era..
