Editorial Reviews
Was an innocent man wrongly accused of murder? On April 26, 1913, thirteen-year-
old Mary Phagan planned to meet friends at a parade in Atlanta, Georgia.
But first she stopped at the pencil factory where she worked to pick
up her paycheck. Mary never left the building alive. A black watchman
found Mary's body brutally beaten and raped. Police arrested the watchman,
but they weren't satisfied that he was the killer. Then they paid a
visit to Leo Frank, the factory's superintendent, who was both a northerner
and a Jew. Spurred on by the media frenzy and prejudices of the time,
the detectives made Frank their prime suspect, one whose conviction
would soothe the city's anger over the death of a young white girl.
The prosecution of Leo Frank was front-page news for two years, and
Frank's lynching is still one of the most controversial incidents of
the twentieth century. It marks a turning point in the history of racial
and religious hatred in America, leading directly to the founding of
the Anti-Defamation League and to the rebirth of the modern Ku Klux
Klan. Relying on primary source documents and painstaking research,
award-winning novelist Elaine Alphin tells the true story of justice
undone in America.
