Award-winning journalist Mara Leveritt's \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Knot\u003c\/i\u003e remains the most comprehensive, insightful reporting ever done on the investigation, trials, and convictions of three teenage boys who became known as the West Memphis Three. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor weeks in 1993, after the murders of three eight-year-old boys, police in West Memphis, Arkansas seemed stymied. Then suddenly, detectives charged three teenagers--alleged members of a satanic cult--with the killings. Despite the witch-hunt atmosphere of the trials, and a case which included stunning investigative blunders, a confession riddled with errors, and an absence of physical evidence linking any of the accused to the crime, the teenagers were convicted. Jurors sentenced Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley to life in prison and Damien Echols, the accused ringleader, to death. The guilty verdicts were popular in their home state--even upheld on appeal--and all three remained in prison until their unprecedented release in August 2011. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith close-up views of its key participants, this award-winning account unravels the many tangled knots of this endlessly shocking case, one which will shape the American legal landscape for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-1601576\"\u003eMara Leveritt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.56w x 1.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743417600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743417607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-TRU\"\u003eTrue Crime\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-TRU002000\"\u003eMurder | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LAW\"\u003eLaw\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LAW026000\"\u003eCriminal Law | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMara Leveritt has won several awards for investigative journalism, including Arkansas's Booker Worthen Prize for her book \u003ci\u003eThe Boys on the Tracks. \u003c\/i\u003eShe is also author of \u003ci\u003eThe Mena File\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDark Spell\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eDevil's Knot.\u003c\/i\u003e A contributing editor to the \u003ci\u003eArkansas Times, \u003c\/i\u003e she lives in Little Roc\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49341536764141,"sku":"9780743417600","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_4f6c3f89-2a9d-42ec-a06f-fa99e8980ce6.jpg?v=1770220765","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/devils-knot-the-true-story-of-the-west-memphis-three-9780743417600","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
