After Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by Marilyn Bardsley
Genre: Nonfiction, True Crime
(A 100-page True Crime Short with photographs) Clint Eastwood’s movie and the book from which it was made — Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil — put the grand historic city of Savannah on the map. Tourists flocked to see the gorgeous mansion where flamboyant designer and antiques dealer Jim Williams, played by Kevin Spacey, killed his young gay lover, played by Jude Law. While the movie portrayed the natives of Savannah as remarkably decadent, exotic characters, it missed the amazing dark side of Jim Williams himself.
Savannah owes Jim Williams an enormous debt of gratitude for his remarkable restoration of historic houses. A brilliant and intensely interesting, charismatic figure, he brought a style and sophistication to the city that it did not have before. Rich and famous people, like Jacqueline Onassis and Rockefellers, made special trips to bargain for his extraordinary antique treasures. However, he was also a smooth predator, whose crimes could have put him behind bars long before he shot his lover.
The wonderful world of Jim Williams came crashing down on him one night after he killed Danny Hansford. Williams stood trial four times for premeditated murder. Between the passionate and dedicated prosecution and the best defense lawyers money could buy, precisely what happened that night is still a mystery. The prosecution’s documents, never published before, reveal its highly effective strategies and the intrigue that caused the Georgia Supreme Court to overturn two convictions.

One of my favorite books ever…. 99 cents today for Kindle.
Mine too. Its normally $12 but I have a nook.
If you'd like I can convert my Kindle to an epub for your nook. Calibre, the software I use to keep my digital library, has a conversion option in it.
I just read that this is not the original but an after book. I do want to read the original. I read the first 25 pages last week on the free sample they let you download for free.
Oh, poop, I didn't read the description either… I thought it was the original. I have the ORIGINAL book. Never read the 'after' book this is selling. I am not a fan of (what basically is) fan fiction. If you'd like the ORIGINAL book, email me.
Never read t he book. Watch the movie a couple of times. Just read it was not the orignal book. Hummmmmm
