Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's suspenseful narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt interweaves a first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club - the turbulent young redneck gigolo - the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah - the aging and profane Southern belle who is the »soul of pampered self-absorption« - the uproariously funny black drag queen - the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer - the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist - young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball, and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else.
