Documents the controversial 2007 trial of KKK member James Ford Seale for the drowning murders of two African-American men in 1964, describing the legal difficulties that shaped the case as well as allegations about Mississippi's complicity. By an Edgar Award-winning author.

On May 2, 1964, Klansman James Ford Seale picked up two black hitchhikers and drowned both young men in the Mississippi River. Seale spent more than forty years a free man, before finally facing trial in 2007. There could have been two defendants in the resulting case: James Ford Seale for kidnapping and murder, and the State of Mississippi for complicity--knowingly aiding, abetting, and creating men like Seale.

In "The Past Is Never Dead," best-selling author Harry MacLean follows Seale's trial, the legal difficulties of prosecuting kidnapping and murder charges decades after the fact, and the strain on a state contending with a past that can't be forgiven. MacLean's narrative is at once the account of a gripping legal battle and an acute meditation on the possibility of redemption.
