Author John Hailman served as a federal prosecutor in Mississippi for over thirty years wherein he routinely worked with federal agents, lawyers, judges, and criminals of every type imaginable. In this new book he recounts an amazing collection of courtroom war stories that range from darkly humorous to tragic.
The stories include incompetent bank robbers like the one whose getaway car wouldn’t start and the one who wrote his demand note on the back of his personal check. In addition to the bank robbers, who generally seem to include the dumbest criminals of the bunch, Hailman describes scam artists, hit men, protected witnesses, colorful informants, corrupt officials, defendants with funny nicknames, over-the-top investigators and those defendants who had a certain roguish charm.
Intended to entertain and enlighten, From Midnight to Guntown will delight any fan of the true crime
genre and anyone who appreciates good writing and the skill of a master
storyteller.
