To totally misquote Mindy Kaling, “favorite book isn’t a book; it’s a tier.” And Hellhound on His Trail by Hampton Sides is definitely on my tier. It’s an amazing combination of thoroughly researched history, compelling narrative, fascinating character exploration (of MLK Jr., James Earl Ray and his many aliases, the town of Memphis, and several other supporting characters), and mystery/thriller. Sides’ books all take moments in history and make them come alive through studies of the actors involved and this one was the one I truly couldn’t put down!
