HTML:<b>ONE OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2019<i><br /></i>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2019 BY <i>Time, LitHub, Vulture, Glamour, O Magazine, Town and Country, Suspense Magazine, Inside Hook<br /> New York Times</i> Best Seller</b><br /> <b> </b><br /> <b>“Compelling . . . at once a true-crime thriller, courtroom drama, and miniature biography of Harper Lee. If <i>To Kill a Mockingbird</i> was one of your favorite books growing up, you should add <i>Furious Hours</i> to your reading list today.” —<i>Southern Living</i></b><br />  <br /> Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell’s murderer was acquitted—thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the Reverend.<br />  <br /> Sitting in the audience during the vigilante’s trial was Harper Lee, who had traveled from New York City to her native Alabama with the idea of writing her own <i>In Cold Blood,</i> the true-crime classic she had helped her friend Truman Capote research seventeen years earlier. Lee spent a year in town reporting, and many more years working on her own version of the case.<br /> Now Casey Cep brings this story to life, from the shocking murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South. At the same time, she offers a deeply moving portrait of one of the country’s most beloved writers and her struggle with fame, success, and the mystery of artistic creativity.
