This is one of the most unusual stories of the Ku Klux Klan and American law enforcement ever to be undertaken. Whereas violence toward blacks was an accepted part of the Klan credo, violence toward whites, particularly respected members of their communities, was virtually unknown until this case. Jim Ruiz, a Louisiana police veteran and historian, provides an exhilarating and compelling account of the brutal murder of two white men in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana.
