The riveting true-crime account of the heartbreaking murder that shook a Southern city to its corrupt foundation BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI: After the fatal shooting of one of the city’s most prominent couples-Vincent Sherry was a circuit court judge; his wife, Margaret, was running for mayor-their grief-stricken daughter came home to uncover the truth behind the crime that shocked a community and to follow leads that police seemed unable or unwilling to pursue. What Lynne Sposito soon discovered were bizarre connections to the Dixie Mafia, a predatory band of criminals who ran The Strip, Biloxi’s beachfront hub of sex, drugs, and sleaze. Armed with a savvy private eye-and a .357 Magnum-Lynne bravely entered a teeming underworld of merciless killers, ruthless con men, and venal politicians in order to bring her parents’ assassins to justice. Review Reminiscent of Truman Capotes In Cold Blood. Humes... makes it read as smoothly as a finely crafted suspense novel. --Chicago TribuneA story almost too unbelievable to be true. But it is... Engrossing! Terrific. --Ann RuleWith surgical brilliance, Humes peels back the glittering skin of the Deep Souths sin belt and exposes a shadow society of almost unspeakable corruption... One of the most suspenseful and chilling crime books Ive ever read. --Jonathan KellermanHumess lucid and unadorned prose admirably suits this complex story of venality and betrayal... Reads like a well-constructed mystery novel. --New York TimesThe reader is quickly caught up in the richly described world of teeming corruption ... and characters that seem more like fictional Elmore Leonard types than real people. Highly recommended. --Library Journal From the Back Cover BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI: After the fatal shooting of one of the citys most prominent couples -- Vincent Sherry was a circuit court judge; his wife, Margaret, was running for mayor -- their grief-stricken daughter came home to uncover the truth behind the crime that shocked a community, and to follow leads that police seemed unable or unwilling to pursue.
