About This Item
New York: Random House, 1994. Book. Very Good+. Hardcover. First Edition (stated).. FIRST PRINTING of the First Edition (stated). The full story of the 1981 murder (or self-defense?) that took place in one of Savannah, Georgia's finest mansions, presented in a narrative form full of remarkable characters, scandals, intrigue, and many surprises - yet made up of true events that still reverberate today throughout that community. Later made into a major motion picture. Hardcover with dust jacket, 388pp., spine a bit shaky, some print bleeding to jacket referse and a tiny bit to upper edge of inside rear board. A very nice copy overall, the jacket neatly encased in an acid-free archival plastic protector. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

This book has everything one wants in a good read: A mystery, a terrific and unique geographical place, amazing and eccentric characters and a very well written story told by an excellent narrator and observer. Plus it is based on real events which if this were fiction--would seem unbelievable.The movie is a pale echo so do read the book and only see the movie for Lady Chablis's appearance.
