Intruder in the Dust by William Faulkner is a classic novel that is part mystery and part social commentary on the racial situation in the southern United States of the late 1940's. It begins with our narrator, Charles Mallison, watching a black man being escorted from the sheriff's car into the city jail. From here, the reader learns how Charles met this man, Lucas Beauchamp, 4 years earlier.
