This compelling new book explores the racially charged case of Euel Lee, alias Orphan Jones, an African American worker accused of murdering his white employer and family in Maryland's affluent Eastern Shore. Attorney and writer Joseph E. Moore reconstructs the crime and ensuing trial of Orphan Jones against the backdrop of Jim Crow politics, which was very much a part of America in the 1930s.
