A Harlem veteran caught between the living and the dead

Bronco brings supernatural elements into a story shaped by wartime trauma, racial violence, and postwar Harlem. Once a gangster, Bronco serves with the all-Black 92nd Infantry Division in Italy during World War II; afterward, his ability to see the dead and his supernatural strength remain part of a life marked by painful memories and alcohol use. When the spirit of a farmer’s daughter killed by the Klan draws him toward her death, a conflict among Harlem gangsters intersects with an investigation that takes him to Mississippi. The description also points to love and solace amid Bronco’s search for vengeance.

Book overview

Bronco's supernatural abilities are a blessing and a curse. Haunted by memories of World War II, he seeks to avenge the deaths of a family killed by the Klan, finding love and solace in the process. Bronco was once a Harlem gangster in the 1930s before becoming a skilled soldier with the all-Black 92nd Infantry Division, fighting the Germans in Italy in 1944. During a chaotic night, embroiled in an intense battle, Bronco fought like a one-man army and took down several German soldiers. However, he encountered a strange sight: a group of dead German soldiers wearing World War I uniforms. Bronco was the only one who could see these soldiers, as he was cursed with the ability to see the dead, along with his supernatural strength. A decade later, Bronco is suffering from PTSD and has turned to alcohol while working as a gravedigger. The bars and lounges of Harlem are his only reprieve from haunting memories. Serving as a conduit for the dead, he is soon haunted by the daughter of a Mississippi farmer killed by the KKK. Entangled in a strained war between gangsters in Harlem, Bronco reluctantly leaves the city for Mississippi to investigate the girl's death and uncovers more than he could have ever expected.
