false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169610548m/41395.jpg 41395 1 <B>Race, injustice, and serial murder in the Deep South&#151;<I>Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil</I> with an investigative edge.</B><BR><BR><I>"The crime happens, the mob gathers. Far too often, the question is, which nigger's neck are we going to put the noose around?"</I>&#151;Gary Parker, former defense lawyer for Carlton Gary<BR><BR>Over the course of eight bloody months in the 1970s, a serial rapist and murderer terrorized Columbus, Georgia, killing seven elderly white women by strangling them in their beds. In 1986, eight years after the last murder, an African American, Carlton Gary, was convicted and sentenced to death. Though many in the city doubt his guilt, he remains on death row.<BR><BR>Award-winning <I>Vanity Fair</I> reporter David Rose has followed this case for a decade in an investigation that led him to the Big Eddy Club&#151;an all-white, members-only club in Columbus, frequented by the town's most prominent judges and lawyers...as well as most of the seven murdered women. Among Rose's discoveries was that a young black man was lynched in 1912 in Columbus after he was tried for murder and freed, and that the Columbus judge to whom the Gary case was first assigned in 1984 was the son of the mob leader in the 1912 lynching.<BR><BR>Framed by the tale of two lynchings&#151;one carried out illegally at the start of the twentieth century, and the other a legal lynching carried out at the century's end&#151;<I>The Big Eddy Club</I> is a gripping, revealing drama, full of evocatively drawn characters, insidious institutions, and the extraordinary connections that bind past and present. The book is also a compelling, accessible, and timely exploration of race and criminal justice, not just in the context of the South but in the entire United States, as it addresses the corruption of due process as a tool of racial oppression. 40967 14 5 2007 The Big Eddy Club: The Stocking Stranglings and Southern Justice total:12|5:3|4:3|3:5|1:1| 12 43 22 5 41395 1565849108 9781565849105 12 5 3.58 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169610548m/41395.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41395.The_Big_Eddy_Club_The_Stocking_Stranglings_and_Southern_Justice 1 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Apr 01 16:34:25 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 01 16:47:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 41395 1565849108 9781565849105 12 5 3.58 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169610548m/41395.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41395.The_Big_Eddy_Club_The_Stocking_Stranglings_and_Southern_Justice 5 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Apr 17 09:47:09 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 17 09:48:01 -0700 2008
