"Hellhound On His Trail: The Electrifying Account of the Largest Manhunt In American History" by Hampton Sides
On April 4, 1968, James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King Jr., at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. The nation was shocked, enraged, and saddened. As chaos erupted across the country and mourners gathered for King's funeral, investigators launched a search for King's assassin that, for sixty-five days, would lead them across two continents.
With a blistering, cross-cutting narrative that draws on a wealth of dramatic, unpublished documents, Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers, delivers a nonfiction thriller in the tradition of William Manchester's The Death of a President and Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. With Hellhound On His Trail, Sides shines a light on the largest manhunt in American History and brings it to life for all to see.
