The inside story of how a courageous FBI informant helped to bring down the KKK organization responsible for a brutal civil rights-era killing, When Evil Lived in Laurel plumbs the nature and harrowing consequences of institutional racism, and brings fresh light to this chapter in the history of civil rights in the South - one with urgent implications for today.

As a southerner who has spent half my life in Alabama and the other half in Mississippi, I am not new to the story of the KKK. I just didn’t know, what I didn’t know.
The book is part history and part thriller. All the while, It sets the table of the cultural realities in play at the time.
It also gives great insight into every day people performing life-threatening acts of bravery just because they wanted to do the right thing.
In the end, I found chores to do around my property simply to be alone and listen to the story being told in this book. I highly recommend it.
Curtis Wilkie brings history to life. He is an artist who uses words to paint a picture in time.
