Description
Amazon.com Casey Cepâ€s Furious Hours is composed of many parts, and
any one of those parts would make a good book. Together, they make a
great book, describing the elements of a gothic true crime set in the
south, and then placing Harper Lee there to cover the trial and write
about it. When relatives of the Reverend Willie Maxwell started dying in
the 1970s, many locals suspected him of practicing voodoo. The police
thought otherwise, noting that Maxwell had taken out life insurance
policies on the deceased relatives; still, for years Maxwell managed to
evade punishment. Justice eventually caught up with the Reverend when a
relative shot him dead at his stepdaughterâ€s funeral. And thatâ€s
where Harper Lee comes in. Lee, who had assisted her friend Truman
Capote in researching In Cold Blood, wanted to observe the vigilanteâ€s
trial with the idea of writing a book about it. Furious Hours sets one
of our most beloved authors in an Alabama courtroom to watch the drama
unfold. Then Cep describes the years when Harper Lee reportedly tried to
write about the case. This is a story concerned with justice and the
truth, but it is also about art, mystery, and our darkest temptations.
—Chris Schluep, Amazon Book Review “She explains as well as it is
likely ever to be explained why Lee went silent after To Kill a
Mockingbird. (The clueâ€s in Cepâ€s title.) And itâ€s here, in her
descriptions of another writerâ€s failure to write, that her book makes
a magical little leap, and it goes from being a superbly written truecrime
story to the sort of story that even Lee would have been proud to
write.― —Michael Lewis, The New York Times Book Review'A compelling
hybrid of a novel, at once a true-crime thriller, courtroom drama, and
miniature biography of Harper Lee. If To Kill a Mockingbird was one of
your favorite books growing up, you should add Furious Hours to your
reading list today.― —Southern Living'Cep delivers edge-of-your-seat
courtroom drama while brilliantly reinventing Southern Gothic…The
result is an enthralling work of narrative nonfiction—Cepâ€s
debut—and a poignant meditation on a book that never was.'—O
Magazine'[A] well-told, ingeniously structured double mystery—one an
unsolved serial killing, the other an elusive book—rich in droll
humour and deep but lightly worn research' —The Economist“A
brilliant take on the mystery of inspiration and the even darker
mysteries of the human heart.― —People“What I didn't see coming
was the emotional response I'd have as I blazed through the last 20

pages of the book — yet there I was, weeping…A gripping, incredibly
well-written portrait of not only Harper Lee, but of mid-20th century
Alabama — and a still-unanswered set of crimes to rival the serial
killers made infamous in the same time period.― —Ilana Masad,Â
NPR“Cepâ€s book is a marvel. In elegant prose, she gives us the
fullest story yet of Leeâ€s post-Mockingbird life in New York–boozy,
unproductive, modest despite her means, yet full of books and
theater–and her quest in Alabama, where she grew close to Radney and
his family, to tell the Maxwell story. Cepâ€s is an account emotionally
attuned to the toll that great writing takes, and shows that sometimes
one perfect book is all we can ask for, even while we wish for
another.― —Lucas Wittmann, Time  'Remarkable, thoroughly
researched... the great, acrobatic trick Cep accomplishes is to deliver
a book so richly detailed and full of thoughtfully condensed research
without having access to any of its three main subjects: Willie Maxwell,
Tom Radney, and Lee... Cep has a knack for a chapter-ending cliffhanger
and building a sort of eerie tension... At her best, Cep manages the
feat that all great nonfiction aspires to: combining the clean precision
of fact with the urgency of gossip.' —Margaret Eby, The New York
Review of Books “[E]xemplary literary true crime…Gripping and
meticulous, Cepâ€s work doesnâ€t make us choose between fidelity and
style.― —Boris Kachka, Vulture  “In Cepâ€s thrilling account of
an Alabama murderer, his killer, and the lawyer who got them both off,
we get to see the To Kill a Mockingbird author hot on the trail of some
slippery characters while she struggles to write a worthy follow-up to
her iconic novel.― —O, The Oprah Magazine  “Tells a crime story
but also says a great deal about the racial, cultural and political
history of the South. As a portrayal of the life of a writer, the
section on Lee is by itself worth the price of admission.― —John
Glassie, The Washington Post'Cep narrates this saga atmospherically and
with empathy. There are lyrical passages... plus judicious detail...
Excursions into the annals of life insurance fraud and folkways of
voodoo are fascinating.―—Stephen Phillips, The Los Angeles Times Â
“Casey Cepâ€s Furious Hours does something wholly unique: in
