About This Item
NY: Henry Holt and Co.. Near Fine with no Dust Jacket. 2002. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 0805066527 . From the initial investigation through the trials and their aftermath, A Death in Texas tells the story of the infamous Byrd murder as seen through the eyes of enlightened Sheriff Billy Rowles. What he sees is a community forced to confront not only a grisly crime but also antebellum traditions about race. Drawing on extensive interviews with key players, journalist Dina Temple-Raston introduces a remarkable cast of characters, from the baby-faced killer, Bill King, to Joe Tonahill, Jasper's white patriarch who can't understand the furor over the killing. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 336 pages; 28593 .
