1. 1. Devil in the Grove

   Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a New America

   

   The book is a gripping account of the Groveland Boys, four African American men falsely accused of raping a white woman in Florida in 1949, and the efforts of Thurgood Marshall, a future Supreme Court justice, to defend them. The narrative delves into the depths of racial injustice and violence in the Jim Crow South, and shows how Marshall's fight for the Groveland Boys helped to lay the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement and the desegregation of America.

2. 2. Bone Valley

   A True Story of Injustice and Redemption in the Heart of Florida

   

   Leo Schofield has spent decades behind bars for the 1987 murder of his wife, a crime he insists he did not commit. Years later, fingerprints from the scene were linked to another local man who has confessed to multiple killings, leaving both men claiming the truth while authorities remain unconvinced. The book examines the competing accounts, physical evidence, and the workings of the criminal-justice system in Polk County, Florida, without revealing the case’s final outcome.
