Hellhound on His Trail

Sides does an excellent job of writing a book about the hunt for MLK's killer instead of a glorification of James Earl Ray. Much of this I attribute to the fact that Sides refers to Ray by whatever alias the criminal was using at the time. Using mostly memoirs, newspapers, and police and FBI files, Sides paints a vivid portrait of a man on the run and a country in crisis. A well structured and compelling book.
