Murder in Coweta County (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781455624911)

This work is a detailed and chillingly realistic reconstruction of the brutal murder of tenant farmer Wilson Turner, which took place in rural Georgia in 1948, and the brilliant investigation that eventually brought the murderer--a powerful county lord--to justice with a conviction that set legal precedents. When that county lord, John Wallace, crushed Turner's skull with a sawed-off shotgun, he did not even give a passing thought to being prosecuted by the police in his feudal kingdom of Meriwether County. However, Wallace had unknowingly crossed into Coweta County, which was under the jurisdiction of the tenacious Sheriff Lamar Potts. Sheriff Potts emerges from the incident as a classic American lawman, honest and unintimidated, a man of action and integrity determined to see justice done.
