DESIRE STREET: A True Story of Death and Deliverance in New Orleans.
New York:: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2005. Fine in fine dust jacket. First printing. An account of a New Orleans murder trial and of justice gone wrong. "In a New Orleans supermarket parking lot in the fall of 1984 two disparate lives become inextricably bound for the next fourteen years. The first the life of Delores Dye a white housewife and grandmother. The second a young black man with a gun in hand. Moments following their maybe not so chance encounter Mrs. Dye lay dead on the sunbaked macadam and the killer had made off with her purse her groceries and her car. Four days later following a tip authorities arrested a known drug dealer and father of five named Curtis Kyles. Kyles would then be tried for Mrs. Dye's murder an unprecedented five times though he maintained his innocence throughout each trial. Convicted and sentenced to death in his second trial he would spend fourteen years on death row. . . But the case slowly yielded a deeper drama: That police and prosecutors may have been complicit in the vengeance that framed Kyles cuts to the heart of a system of justice for Southern blacks in the era since lynch mobs were shamed into obsolescence." INSCRIBED by the author on the title page "for --- esteemed and much loved comrade in arms." Nominated for the Edgar Award. Photographs. 343 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux, hardcover

Mewshaw Michael.
LIFE FOR DEATH: A True Story of Crime and Punishment.
Garden City NY:: Doubleday 1980. Near fine in a good dust jacket price-clipped tear at fold of rear flap crease on back cover of dj. First printing. A true crime story which is given much more immediacy because of the friendship between the author and the boy who shot his parents and the fact that it was his family who fought to get Wayne a chance in the criminal system. "Harold and Shirley Dresbach seemed to be a perfect couple. . . . Wealthy and influential they were active in politics and often entertained prominent visitors in their waterfront home on the Chesapeake Bay. So on a quiet January morning in 1961 when their nude bodies riddled with bullets were found people in the affluent suburb of Washington D.C. were stunned. They were still more stunned and horrified when the Dresbach's 15yr. old son Wayne was charged with the killings. The author a childhood friend of Wayne's was the first to learn of the tragic events that morning and from the start he suspected some essential truth had been hidden. This is the account of his frustrating investigation into the crime and punishment of his friend. . . Played out behind a facade of propriety it is a drama composed of almost entirely of unspeakable acts - black-market adoption alcoholism child and wife abuse sexual experimentation sadism incest and finally murder." 281 pp. Doubleday, hardcover
