Bloody Hours - Ebook by Casey Cep

About this book

In 1977, Harper Lee returned to her Alabama hometown to narrate the astonishing tale of Reverend Willie Maxwell. Six individuals in his circle had died under highly suspicious circumstances, yet investigators couldn't prove his guilt. Maxwell's presence instilled fear and rumors in the Lake Martin area, with locals dreading his alleged supernatural powers linked to voodoo. Eventually, one of his neighbors took matters into their own hands, killing Maxwell at a funeral attended by three hundred people. Lee interviewed many key figures and embarked on a laborious writing process, the outcome of which remains unknown.
