When Lucas Beauchamp, an old black man who refuses to follow the traditional servile attitude of his peers, is wrongfully arrested for the murder of a white man in Yoknapatawpha County, teenager Charles Mallison finally gets an opportunity to repay a debt of honour he feels he owes Beauchamp. Mallison sets out to prove the accused innocent in William Faulkner's classic murder-mystery, Intruder in the Dust. His use of character conflict to explore the deeper theme of race relations in the South has made this work a classic of American literature.
