Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, a hardback by John Berendt. This is an amazing book, introduced to me by my favorite listia.com bookseller, hsabooks – it looks and reads like an amazing murder mystery novel BUT it is a TRUE STORY observed and written by the author, John Berendt, a news column writer! This book is Like New and I looked a while and just cannot find ANY defect to tell you about! This looks like a first edition and is a full-sized hardback with dust jacket – all Like New for you!
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Shots rang 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 tells a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the "soul of pampered self-absorption"; the uproariously funny black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else.
