Forty Acres: A Thriller

A young black attorney confronts issues of race and power as he uncovers a shocking conspiracy in the most page-turning and provocative thriller since The Firm.

Martin Grey, a smart, talented black lawyer working out of a storefront in Queens, becomes friendly with a group of some of the most powerful, wealthy, and esteemed black men in America. Heâ€™s dazzled by what theyâ€™ve accomplished, and they seem to think he has the potential to be as successful as they are. They invite him for a weekend away from it allâ€”no wives, no cell phones, no talk of business. But far from home and cut off from everyone he loves, he discovers a disturbing secret that challenges some of his deepest convictionsâ€¦

Martin finds out that his glittering new friends are part of a secret society dedicated to the preservation of the institution of slaveryâ€”but this time around, the black men are called â€œMaster.â€ Joining them seems to guarantee a future without limits; rebuking them almost certainly guarantees his death. Trapped inside a picture-perfect, make-believe world that is home to a frightening reality, Martin must find a way out that will allow him to stay alive without becoming the very thing he hates.

A novel of rage and compassion, good and evil, trust and betrayal, Forty Acres is the thought-provoking story of one manâ€™s desperate attempt to escape the clutches of a terrifying new moral order.
