Un petit port avec ses pêcheurs d'huîtres, son débit de boissons, ses marins, sa putain locale, et Jim, le pauvre nègre transi. Et tout à coup la brutalité, le sadisme collectif se déchaînent et l'on assiste - sous couvert de moralisation - à un spectacle abominable, écœurant. Les atermoiements de la police locale, la lâcheté, la veulerie, la sauvagerie des uns, l'impuissance désespérée des autres font de ce livre un témoignage impitoyable.
