Hellhound on His Trail, by Hampton Sides

A gripping biography of James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King. The book examines the weeks leading up to and following King’s assassination in minute and colorful detail, painting Ray as a cunning, mentally ill, bizarre man. I’d never encountered so much detail on Ray before, making this compelling reading.

Book: 48/52
