Neuware - Finalist, CrimeCon Clue Award, True Crime Book of the Year Winner, Georgia Independent Author of the YearWinner, Georgia Spotlight AwardLike a nonfiction John Grisham thriller with echoes of Rainman, Just Mercy, and a captivating smalltown Southern setting, this is the fascinating true storysometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreakingof an idealistic young lawyer determined to free an undiagnosed neurodivergent man wrongfully accused of murdering the wife no one knew he had. An inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice for readers of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and Just Mercy.Was this small-town TV repair man "a harmless eccentric or a bizarre killer" (Atlanta Journal Constitution). For the first time, Alvin Ridley's own defense attorney reveals the inside story of his case and trial in an extraordinary tale of friendship and an idealistic young attorney's quest to clear his client's nameand, in the process, rebuild his own life.In October 1997, the town of Ringgold in northwest Georgia was shaken by reports of a murder in its midst.
