Furious Hours

“A triumph on every level. 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, author of Killers of the Flower Moon

“The sort of story that even Lee would have been proud to write.” —Michael Lewis, The New York Times

“Remarkable, thoroughly researched. . . . Cep manages the feat that all great nonfiction aspires to: combining the clean precision of fact with the urgency of gossip.” —The New York Review of Book

“Gripping and meticulous, Cep’s work doesn’t make us choose between fidelity and style.” —Vulture
