{"product_id":"return-to-guntown-john-hailman-9781496803054","title":"Return to Guntown: Classic Trials of the Outlaws and Rogues of Faulkner Country","description":"A federal prosecutor in Mississippi for over thirty years, John Hailman routinely worked with federal agents, lawyers, judges, and criminals of every type imaginable. Encouraged by the acclaim for his earlier book, \u003ci\u003eFrom Midnight to Guntown\u003c\/i\u003e, he has opened even more of the astonishing cases within the over thirty-five boxes full of trial stories he carried into retirement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hailman gathers colorful exploits of eccentric modern criminals from William Faulkner's Mississippi, where savvy victims often outwit their criminal perpetrators. Characters range from rich but incompetent drug lords and nationwide gun-runners to bumbling Dixie Mafia kidnappers. The book ends with \"Fancy Frauds\" in which ingenious con men (and women) offer hilarious but surprisingly sophisticated \"special deals\" on tax-free gold mines in Mexico and bargain (but bogus) Viagra. Chapters include \"Guns, Bombs, and Moonshine Whiskey,\" \"Drug Kingpins Have Troubles Too,\" \"Crime Victims Fight Back,\" \"Mere Theft,\" and \"Fancy Frauds.\" Written to entertain and enlighten, these stories will delight any fan of the true crime genre and anyone who enjoys good writing and the skill of a master storyteller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hailman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496803051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496803054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.20w x 1.30d","brand":"John Hailman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45482499408127,"sku":"9781496803054","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59a32c41-e7da-48d6-bca3-519a28b1b6bc.jpg?v=1715998711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/return-to-guntown-john-hailman-9781496803054","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
