Furious Hours unravels the story of the trial and murder of Alabama serial killer Reverend Willie Maxwell, the lawyer who represented him, and Harper Lee’s inspiration for The Reverend, a book she researched and obsessed about for years, but never completed. This provides a mesmerizing look into Lee’s life after To Kill A Mockingbird and her struggles to translate murder, courtroom drama, and racial politics in the ’70s into her version of a true-crime story. Fans of Harper Lee and Truman Capote alike will devour this captivating story!
