Pamela Colloff’s Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast is a real-life account of Paul Skalnik, who spent decades living a lie, marrying multiple women, and posing as a fighter pilot, cancer patient, and more. As a frequent state witness, his lies helped imprison innocent men. Catch the Devil details a brilliant liar made lethal by a corrupt system. In The Wiregrass: A Tale of Murder and Retribution in the Deep South, reporter Matt Kessler chronicles his quest to solve the 1999 murder of two white teenage girls in the rural town of Ozark, Alabama. The police investigation was, at best, shoddy. At worst, it looked like a cover-up. Peeling back the layers of the case, a web of police corruption, violence, and miscarried justice is revealed. Rick Tulsky’s Injustice Town: A Corrupt City, a Wrongly Convicted Man, and a Struggle for Freedom, follows Lamonte McIntyre’s fight for exoneration, from its harrowing beginning to its triumphant end and beyond. When two Black men were found dead in 1994, McIntyre, 17 and Black, was quickly arrested and convicted for their murders. Decades later, the fight to prove his innocence exposed decades of corruption. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King moderates.
