Drifting Into Darkness

Murder, Madness, Suicide, and a Death “Under Suscpicious Circumstances”

“A lavishly detailed story of murder, madness, and treachery in Alabama and parts beyond. Mark Pinsky’s prose is as sweetly beckoning as a Southern breeze.”

— Michael Cuneo, New York Times-acclaimed author of Almost Midnight and American Exorcism

Met Her on the Mountain

“This compulsively page-turning true crime narrative has it all: smart prose, a now obscure unsolved murder that was notorious at the time, and an investigative journalist trying to pick up the trail. Regarding the victim as a kindred spirit, former Los Angeles Times staff writer Pinsky followed the story from the start (he was a college student in the area at the time of the murder), and many readers will be convinced that his dogged investigation has at last uncovered the truth.
