Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee
$17.71 online at Bookshop.org
Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural Alabama preacher accused of murdering five family members. With a savvy lawyer he escaped justice for years until a relative assassinated him at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, the vigilante was acquitted, thanks to the same attorney who had defended the reverend. Sitting in the audience was Harper Lee, who spent a year reporting the Maxwell case and many more trying to finish the book she called The Reverend. Casey Cep brings the story to life, from the murders to the courtroom to Deep South racial politics, while offering a portrait of one of our most revered writers and her unfinished true-crime project.
