Murder, Race, and a High-Stakes Election Haunt Oak Island in Wiley Cash’s “When Ghosts Come Home”

September 17, 2021

In this episode 245, we visit with Wiley Cash, the New York Times bestselling author of “When Ghosts Come Home,” a thrilling and suspenseful mystery against the backdrop of the Coastal Carolinas in 1984.

When a plane crashes in the middle of the night at a nearby airfield, Sheriff Winston Barnes discovers the body of a Black man shot dead in the grass near the crash site. With a long suspect list, including the pilot of the downed plane, simmering racial tensions, and an uncertain future, Barnes sets out to do his duty amongst extraordinary circumstances.

Lauren Wilkinson, author of “American Spy”, had this to say about the book, “Wiley Cash's latest is an unputdownable knock-out: written in deft, thrilling prose, this book is both a gripping murder mystery and a thoughtful exploration of systemic racism in America. The perfect novel for our present moment."
