Description
Hellhound on His Trail is a gripping narrative of two men whose lives became inextricably linked in the late 1960s. James Earl Ray, a thief and con man, and Martin Luther King Jr., one of America's most iconic figures, were pursued by each other in a cat-and-mouse game that spanned the country.
The book follows Hampton Sides as he tracks Ray's journey from prison to his eventual capture of King, while also delving into the final months of King's life as he struggled to keep his message alive amidst intense FBI surveillance and personal exhaustion.
The result is a thrilling and deeply researched account of one of the most infamous events in American history, with the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. sparking nationwide riots and the largest manhunt in the country's history.
