Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt

Shots ring out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the Misty early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt sharply observed, suspenseful and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life of this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case.
