One of the losses to literature is that Harper Lee never found a way to tell a gothic true-crime story she'd spent years researching. Casey Cep has excavated this mesmerizing story and tells it with grace and insight and a fierce fidelity to the truth."--David Grann, best-selling author of Killers of the Flower Moon The stunning story of an Alabama serial killer and the true-crime book that Harper Lee worked on obsessively in the years after To Kill a Mockingbird. Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell's murderer was acquitted--thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the Reverend. Sitting in the audience during the vigilante's trial was Harper Lee, who had traveled from New York City to her native Alabama with the idea of writing her own In Cold Blood, the true-crime classic she had helped her friend Truman Capote research seventeen years earlier. Lee spent a year in town reporting, and many more working on her own version of the case. Now Casey Cep brings this nearly inconceivable story to life, from the shocking murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South. At the same time, she offers a deeply moving portrait of one of the country's most beloved writers and her struggle with fame, success, and the mystery of artistic creativity"--]]></description><link>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1643743</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1643743</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cep, Casey N.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1643743036</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781101972052/MC.GIF&amp;client=913-495-2400&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1052463829</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Furious Hours]]></title><description><![CDATA["The stunning story of an Alabama serial killer and the true-crime book that Harper Lee worked on obsessively in the years after 'To Kill a Mockingbird'"--Publisher.]]></description><link>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1644610</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1644610</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cep, Casey N.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1644610036</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984892232/MC.GIF&amp;client=913-495-2400&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1085495077</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Furious Hours]]></title><description><![CDATA[Casey Cep brings this nearly inconceivable, gripping story to life on the page: from the shocking murders to the chicanery of insurance fraud to the courtroom drama.

It's also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it's made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone. Michael Lewis invited his favorite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them in a special in-depth series for the Washington Post. The stories they found are unexpected, riveting, and inspiring, including a former coal miner devoted to making mine roofs less likely to collapse, saving thousands of lives; an IRS agent straight out of a crime thriller; and the manager who made the National Cemetery Administration the best-run organization, public or private, in the entire country. Each essay shines a spotlight on the essential behind-the-scenes work of exemplary federal employees. Whether they're digitizing archives, chasing down cybercriminals, or discovering new planets, these public servants are committed to their work and universally reluctant to take credit. Expanding on the Washington Post series, the vivid profiles in Who Is Government? blow up the stereotype of the irrelevant bureaucrat. They show how the essential business of government makes our lives possible, and how much it matters"--]]></description><link>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1961439</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1961439</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lewis, Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1961439036</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Untold Story of Public Service</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217047802/MC.GIF&amp;client=913-495-2400&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1504428884</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Land of Sweet Forever]]></title><description><![CDATA["A posthumous collection of newly discovered short stories and previously published essays and magazine pieces, offering a fresh perspective on the ... literary mind of Harper Lee"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1985406</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1985406</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lee, Harper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1985406036</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Stories and Essays</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063460515/MC.GIF&amp;client=913-495-2400&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=in903080188</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Land of Sweet Forever]]></title><description><![CDATA[Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late '50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper Lee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine publication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote; and Lee who peppered the pages of McCall's and Vogue with thoughtful essays in the latter part of the twentieth century. The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee's early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee's youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.]]></description><link>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1993327</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S36C1993327</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lee, Harper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://olathe.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1993327036</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle>Stories and Essays</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063460553/MC.GIF&amp;client=913-495-2400&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1545498515</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Land of Sweet Forever]]></title><description><![CDATA["...
