This book is the gripping story of the crime that shocked the state and the nation in 1954, when Albert Patterson, running for state attorney general on a platform of cleaning up 'sin city,' was gunned down outside his law office in Phenix City. - Alabama Historical Association Newsletter; ""A controversial book.... Its provocative assertions, while discomforting for survivors of that drama, inevitably will trigger further debate among inquisitive types who like to revisit political assassinations."" - Anniston Star; ""Grady has thoroughly researched his book, written it in a page-turner fashion, and... contributed substantially to a much better understanding of this bizarre chapter in mid-20th century Alabama politics."" - Montgomery Advertiser
