Mystery

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

by John Berendt

A mesmerizing true-crime narrative set in Savannah's shadowy world of aristocrats and eccentrics. Berendt chronicles the 1981 shooting in a grand mansion and the decade of legal drama that followed. The city itself becomes a character, all moss-draped oaks and buried secrets, in this genre-defining work of narrative nonfiction.
