Or even before that: the day her mother disappeared. But for our purposes Allie's story begins at the end, when she is finally ready to tell her version of what happened with a white supremacist named Matthew Strong.\u003cbr\u003e From the beginning, Allie had the clues: in a spate of possibly connected disappearances of other young Black women; in a series of recently restored plantation homes; in letters outlining an uprising; in maps of slave trade routes and old estates; in hidden caves and buried tunnels; and finally, in a confessional that should never have existed. They just have to make a case strong enough for the FBI and police to listen. This is when Allie herself disappears.\u003cbr\u003e Allie is a survivor. She survived the newly post-Jim Crow south, she survived cancer, and she will survive being stalked and kidnapped by Matthew Strong, who seeks to ignite a revolution. The surprise in this doesn't lie in the question of \u003ci\u003ewill\u003c\/i\u003e she be taken; it lies in \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e she and her community outsmart a tactical madman.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Other Press","offers":[{"title":"Confessions of Matthew Strong | Ousmane Power-Greene | Hardcover | 9781635422085 | Used: Like New | Suspense \u0026 Thriller 1664135","offer_id":50785096859906,"sku":"1664135","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81HWqeYsEnL.jpg?v=1792246199","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/confessions-of-matthew-strong","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
