Gilbert King’s 2013 nonfiction work Devil in the Grove: The Groveland Boys and the Dawn of New America tells the gripping true‑crime story of a 1949 murder case that exposed deep racial injustice in the American South. Blending biography, legal history and civil‑rights analysis, the book follows attorney Thurgood Marshall’s early fight for justice on behalf of four Black men wrongly accused of rape.

The narrative weaves courtroom drama with broader social‑science insights, making it a compelling read for both young adult and adult audiences interested in history, law, and African‑American studies. King’s meticulous research and vivid storytelling bring the era’s tension to life without revealing the outcome, inviting readers to explore the complexities of race relations and legal reform.

This trade paperback is in good condition, with a tight binding, clean interior pages and only minor thumbing scuffs on the closed page edge. It comes from a smoke‑free home and shows no writing, dog‑ears, or other damage.
