(A 132-page True Crime Short with 42 photos) Jim Williams had it
all: style, culture, charisma, and sophistication. As a premier
antiques dealer in Savannah, he mingled with celebrities, including
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and the Rockefellers, who came to admire
his extraordinary treasures. His legacy thrust Savannah into the
national spotlight and transformed the genteel city into a tourist
mecca. But three decades of hard work came crashing down the night
he shot Danny Hansford, his wild young lover. Jim Williams stood
trial four times over the next decade for premeditated murder.
Today, tourists flock to Mercer House to see the gorgeous mansion
depicted in Clint Eastwood s movie and the book from which it was
made Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil where flamboyant
designer and antiques dealer Jim Williams (Kevin Spacey) killed
Danny Hansford (Jude Law). While the movie and book portrayed the
natives of Savannah as remarkably decadent, exotic characters, they
missed the surprising dark side of Jim Williams himself. He was a
smooth predator whose crimes could have put him behind bars long
before the death of Danny Hansford. After Midnight in the Garden of
Good and Evil is the newly revised and expanded version of the #1
Wall Street Journal bestselling true account of the crime, which
includes crucial testimony recreating the courtroom drama between a
gifted prosecutor and a brilliant defense attorney as they battle
over the future of a self-made aristocrat. More than 40 photos and
revealing insider interviews bring new life to the vivid cast of
characters in this unique southern crime story.
