Title: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Description: New York, Random House. 1994, 1st US Edition. (ISBN: 0679429220) Hardcover. Book, Genteel society ladies who compare notes on their husbands' suicides. A hilariously foul-mouthed black drag queen. A voodoo priestess who works her roots in the graveyard at midnight. A morose inventor who owns a bottle of poison powerful enough to kill everyone in town. A prominent antiques dealer who hangs a Nazi flag from his window to disrupt the shooting of a movie. And a redneck gigolo whose conquests describe him as a "walking streak of sex." These are some of the real residents of Savannah, Georgia, a city whose eccentric mores are unerringly observed -- and whose dirty linen is gleefully aired -- in this utterly irresistible book. At once a true-crime murder story and a hugely entertaining and deliciously perverse travelogue, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is as bracing and intoxicating as half-a-dozen mint juleps.388p. As New/As New.
