The riveting true-crime account of the heartbreaking murder that shook a Southern city to its corrupt foundation BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI: After the fatal shooting of one of the city's most prominent couples--Vincent Sherry was a circuit court judge; his wife, Margaret, was running for mayor--their grief-stricken daughter came home to uncover the truth behind the crime that shocked a community and to follow leads that police seemed unable or unwilling to pursue. What Lynne Sposito soon discovered were bizarre connections to the Dixie Mafia, a predatory band of criminals who ran The Strip, Biloxi's beachfront hub of sex, drugs, and sleaze. Armed with a savvy private eye--and a .357 Magnum--Lynne bravely entered a teeming underworld of merciless killers, ruthless con men, and venal politicians in order to bring her parents' assassins to justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHumes, Edward:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Edward Humes, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for specialized reporting, is the author of many critically acclaimed nonfiction books including, \u003ci\u003eMonkey Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e School of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Mississippi Mud\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Mean Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eGarbology\u003c\/i\u003e.
