Hampton Sides is a journalist who has created many interesting books about historical events. This book is about the hunt for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassin, James Earl Ray. The CIA, FBI and others had been monitoring Ray's activities closely for his entire life - this included following him from one location to another and eavesdropping on his phone conversations. The authors of the book give three different perspectives of different people in a local gymnasium where King was staying. One person in particular looks like he could be James Earl Ray but nobody can be completely sure it's not just some random guy (it turns out he wasn't).
