Years later, the tale of murder and revenge in Georgia still has the power to fascinate...Intense, suspenseful.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post Book World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1913, 13-year-old Mary Phagan was found brutally murdered in the basement of the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked. The factory manager, a college-educated Jew named Leo Frank, was arrested, tried, and convicted in a trial that seized national headlines. When the governor commuted his death sentence, Frank was kidnapped and lynched by a group of prominent local citizens. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Steve Oney's acclaimed account re-creates the entire story for the first time, from the police investigations to the gripping trial to the brutal lynching and its aftermath. Oney vividly renders Atlanta, a city enjoying newfound prosperity a half-century after the Civil War, but still rife with barely hidden prejudices and resentments. He introduces a Dickensian pageant of characters, including zealous policemen, intrepid reporters, Frank's martyred wife, and a fiery populist who manipulated local anger at Northern newspapers that pushed for Frank's exoneration.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936955662567,"sku":"9780679764236","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_e32359e6-0049-45a0-910d-791c2f0857c7.jpg?v=1774994911","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/and-the-dead-shall-rise-the-murder-of-mary-phagan-and-the-lynching-of-leo-frank","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
