In the early 20th century, when lynchings were commonplace in the American South, a few courageous reporters — light-skinned African-Americans — risked their lives to expose the truth. They called their undercover work “going incognegro.”

After Zane Pinchback, a reporter for the New York-based New Holland Herald, barely escapes with his life after his latest “incognegro” assignment goes wrong, he returns to Harlem — only to discover that his new assignment is to report on the arrest of his own brother, charged with the brutal murder of a white woman in Mississippi...

Author Mat Johnston (Hunting in Harlem) is joined by artist Warren Pleece (Hellblazer) to tell this gripping, disturbing story of race in America. Warning: Adults Only!
