The author goes right into the killing before the explaining, you can read the 1st 2 and last 2 chapters and know all you need to know! ( ) Read from August 01 to 06, 2014 Format Paperback (edit) Review And another little jewel on my mount true crime shelves.Back when I first started true crime I bought a lot of lots on ebay. Loved it. Back then shipping costs was not so outrageous as it is now so I loved buying tons of books. As a matter of fact talking about it makes me want to buy more. You know auctions with at least 30 books or so so it is a surprise what you get? I have read nearly all but there were a few still unread and apparently some were very good. This is one of them. Very well written again. Just the way I like it. Very suspenseful as well and I also enjoyed the outcome. 4 stars at least If you saw the movie with the same name, you did not get the real story. This book shows the Old South cronyism that once existed in some counties. A cracker who dominated his county thought he could even get away with murder! The courageous sheriff from the county where the killing took place is the hero. The testimony of two black men who were coerced into helping destroy the corpus delicti were the key to conviction of this self-styled Boss. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
