The book is not very satisfying since the crime is not fully solved. Biloxi was a bad place, and there was a lot of evil there, and the people didn't seem to mind too much. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

NOW UPDATED WITH EXPLOSIVE COURTROOM DETAILS. . . . 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.

This book goes into substantial, sometimes excessive, detail about the investigation and trial. But it was a fascinating read and ultimately satisfying. The details revealed about the scam and prison life in Angola, one of the worst prisons in the US, were especially interesting. According to the book the scam even reached into Canada with one MP being caught up. ( )
