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.
