On April 4th, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stepped out onto the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, and into his killer's line of fire. James Earl Ray stood accused in the murder that forever changed the course of American history. It has also set into motion a massive cover-up that has withstood a quarter-century of scrutiny.
Now, after nearly two decades of investigation, William F. Pepper, Ray's longtime attorney, exposes the truth of King's death: his client was a patsy, and J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, the CIA, army intelligence, the mafia, and the Memphis police force colluded in a conspiracy to eliminate the man they saw as a dangerous revolutionary.
Interviewing scores of new witnesses who have remained silent for decades—including two member of the Special Forces squad who admit to being on sniper duty—Pepper offers tantalizing evidence that calls into question everything we thought we knew about King's assassination. And Pepper names names, revealing the evil sedition behind the murder of our nation's greatest civil rights leader.
