In 1978, at the urging of longtime civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy, William F. Pepper interviewed James Earl Ray at Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary. What he heard then and discovered in succeeding years so convinced him of Ray s innocence that eventually he became James Earl Ray s lawyer and continued a twenty-year investigation into the crime. Now Pepper s revelations, based on extensive research and never-before-revealed evidence and interviews, solve the haunting mystery surrounding James Earl Ray s real role in the killing and expose a ruthless conspiracy wrought by hate and power that will shame-and shock-all Americans.
