They were African-American men who, due to their light skin color, could \"pass\" among the white folks. They called this dangerous assignment going \"incognegro.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZane Pinchback, a reporter for the New York-based New Holland Herald, is sent to investigate the arrest of his own brother, charged with the brutal murder of a white woman in Mississippi. With a lynch mob already swarming, Zane must stay \"incognegro\" long enough to uncover the truth behind the murder in order to save his brother -- and himself.  Suspenseful, unsettling and relevant, \u003ci\u003eIncognegro\u003c\/i\u003e is a tense graphic novel of shifting identities, forbidden passions, and secrets that run far deeper than skin color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eMat Johnson is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eLoving Day\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePym, Drop,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHunting in Harlem\u003c\/i\u003e, the nonfiction novella T\u003ci\u003ehe Great Negro Plot\u003c\/i\u003e, and the graphic novels, \u003ci\u003eIncognegro\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDark Rain\u003c\/i\u003e.
