Produktbeschreibung
Revealing the story of the reopening of the case of the Birmingham, Alabama, church bombing of 1963, this insider's account divulges the ins and outs of the investigation led by detective Ben Herren of the Birmingham Police Department and special agent Bill Fleming of the FBI. For more than a year, they analyzed the original FBI files on the bombing and activities of the Ku Klux Klan, then began a search for new evidence. Their first interview?with Klansman Bobby Frank Cherry?broke open the case, but not in the way they expected. Herren and Fleming unearthed lost evidence and convinced long-silent witnesses to tell their stories. With tenacity, humor, dedication, and some luck, the pair encountered the worst and best in human nature on their journey to find justice, and perhaps closure, for the citizens of Birmingham.
Autorenporträt
T. K. Thorne's childhood passion for storytelling deepened when she became a police officer in Birmingham, Alabama. "It was a crash course in life and what motivated and mattered to people." In her newest novels, House of Rose and House of Stone, murder and mayhem mix with a little magic when a police officer discovers she's a witch. Both her award-winning debut historical novels, Noah's Wife and Angels at the Gate, tell the stories of unknown women in famous biblical tales-the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. Her first non-fiction book, Last Chance for Justice, the inside story of the investigation and trials of the 1963 Birmingham church bombing, was featured on the New York Post's "Books You Should Be Reading" list. Her newest nonfiction is Behind the Magic Curtain: Secrets, Spies, and Unsung White Allies of Birmingham's Civil Rights Days. T. K. loves traveling and speaking about her books and life lessons. She writes at her mountaintop home with a horse in the back yard and a cat and dog vying for her lap.
