«Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil» is John Berendt's non-fiction chronicle, published by Vintage in paperback, about a murder in Savannah.
From the shooting that shocked Savannah in 1981 and the trial that followed, Berendt builds a chronicle alternating the case's reconstruction with the city's social life. High-society ladies, drag artists, a voodoo priestess, and other figures parade through, turning the narrative into a choral portrait of the South.
1998 Vintage edition, in English, 392 pages. The cover links it to Clint Eastwood's movie adaptation. Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.
Aimed at true crime readers who value real facts narrated with a novel's pace and memorable characters.
