Harper Lee’s Lost True Crime Book

Lucrative life insurance payouts on the dead, combined with rumours that Maxwell was practising voodoo on the victims and on the law enforcement officers who should have been arresting him, left people worrying about who might be his next target. She grew up surrounded by stacks of the magazine True Detective Mysteries and the stories of Sherlock Holmes, watched trials from the balcony of the local courthouse as a young girl, studied law at the University of Alabama, and helped her childhood friend Truman Capote with the reporting and research that became his 1966 true crime classic In Cold Blood. That was until Lee heard about Maxwell and decided to turn his story into a book.
