Beschreibung

<p><b>THE BESTSELLING TRUE CRIME CLASSIC </b><br><b><br>"Elegant and wicked.... [This] might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime"<br><i>New York Times Book Review</i></b></p><p>Genteel society ladies who compare notes on their husbands' suicides. A hilariously foul-mouthed black drag queen. A voodoo priestess who works her roots in the graveyard at midnight. A morose inventor who owns a bottle of poison powerful enough to kill everyone in town. A prominent antiques dealer who hangs a Nazi flag from his window to disrupt the shooting of a movie. And a redneck gigolo whose conquests describe him as a 'walking streak of sex'.</p><p>These are some of the real residents of Savannah, Georgia, a city whose eccentric mores are unerringly observed - and whose dirty linen is gleefully aired - in this utterly irresistible book. At once a true-crime murder story and a hugely entertaining and deliciously perverse travelogue, <i>Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil</i> is as bracing and intoxicating as half-a-dozen mint juleps.</p><p><b>"Forceful, clear, gripping, <i>Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil</i> is the best nonfiction novel since <i>In Cold Blood</i> and a lot more entertaining"</b><br><b>Edmund White</b></p><p><b>"All the old passions are on parade through New South Savannah in John Berendt's wickedly funny new book"</b><br><b>Richard Russo</b></p>
