Reseña del libro "A Rainy Night in Georgia: A Lawman's Brutal Murder, a Rogue Southern Sheriff, and a Prosecutor's Quest for Justice (en Inglés)"
It was up to me, I knew, to get justice for Derwin Brown.
A Rainy Night in Georgia is the story of two lawmen and public servants: Derwin Brown was elected Sheriff, and author J. Tom Morgan District Attorney, of DeKalb County, Georgia in 2000. But when Brown began to deliver on campaign promises to investigate the previous Sheriff Sidney Dorsey’s administration – filled with accusations of corruption – Brown was found brutally murdered in his own driveway. Had his crusade for justice led to his killing?
After nearly a year of intense work, though, the killing remained an unsolved – and high-profile – mystery, until finally a break in the case led investigators to uncover a conspiracy unique in the history of American crime: the mastermind behind Derwin's murder was that former sheriff, Sidney Dorsey. Dorsey had the deluded notion that if Derwin Brown were eliminated, the county would have no choice but to appoint him interim sheriff. The ambush was a political assassination. As the District Attorney charged with prosecuting Brown’s killer, author J. Tom Morgan reveals in-depth information about the case, which would go on to be a national media sensation combining political intrigue with revelations of government corruption, murder-for-hire plots, and a ‘first’ in the Georgia criminal justice system. A tireless and devoted attorney, Morgan was all business until a stunning revelation made the case personal: his own name was next on Dorsey’s hitlist.
The first book devoted to the monumental political assassination of Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown and ensuing search for justice, A Rainy Night in Georgia explores the threat of corruption in law enforcement and immerses readers in a gripping true-crime saga, narrated by the man who lived it through every fascinating twist and turn, from beginning to end.
