Download Return to Guntown: Classic Trials of the Outlaws and Rogues of Faulkner Country AudioBook Free
A federal government prosecutor in Mississippi for over 30 years, John Hailman consistently worked with federal government agents, lawyers, judges, and thieves of every type imaginable. Motivated by the acclaim for his earlier book, From Midnight to Guntown, he has opened up even more of the amazing conditions within the over 35 containers filled with trial reports he taken into retirement. Hailman gathers colorful exploits of eccentric modern thieves from William Faulkner's Mississippi, where savvy patients often outwit their criminal perpetrators. Characters range from rich but incompetent medicine lords and countrywide gun-runners to bumbling Dixie Mafia kidnappers. The audiobook ends with "Nice Frauds" in which clever con men (and women) offer entertaining but surprisingly complex "special bargains" on tax-free yellow metal mines in Mexico and good deal (but bogus) Viagra. Chapters include "Guns, Bombs, and Moonshine Whiskey", "Medication Kingpins Have Troubles Too", "Crime Victims Fight Back again", "Mere Theft", and "Nice Frauds". Written to amuse and enlighten, these reports will delight any fan of the true crime genre and anyone who enjoys good writing and the skill of an master storyteller. Published by University or college Press of Mississippi.
