An anti-government cop killer. A madam whose courage lifted her from shame to legend. A mummified woman shrouded in mystery. Whether they enjoyed the spotlight or weaponized their status as unlikely suspects, these women left scandal and misery in their wake. Journalist Jeremy W. Gray digs into the sordid mess left behind by some of the most notorious women in Alabama history.

A Mobile, Alabama, police detective investigates when a body is found along a Mardi Gras parade route in this mystery thriller. Detective William Boyett is called out on Mardi Gras evening in Mobile, Alabama, to investigate the discovery of a young woman’s body wrapped in a carpet in a vacant lot a few blocks from the parade route. Over the next two months, Boyett works hard to solve the case, but he’s frustrated by miscalculations and downright incompetence by other members of the law enforcement community. His investigation goes nowhere, and when he’s promoted and transferred back into patrol, the unsolved homicide falls into the cold case status. A decade later, Boyett is assigned to a newly formed cold case squad. He soon picks up two cases he feels he can solve, one of which is the 2006 Mobile Mardi Gras murder he left behind.

Book Description
On a chilly evening in fall of 1966, Annie Jean Barnes left her home in East Brewton, Alabama, to spend time at a secluded fishing camp owned by a local doctor. Less than forty-eight hours later she was hospitalized--beaten and abused. Within a week, she was dead. And, it would seem, willfully forgotten by the citizens of Brewton--the more prosperous area on the west side of Murder Creek--who soon came to refer to the fate of Jean Barnes as an "unfortunate incident."The 2003 publication of Suzanne Hudson's novel In a Temple of Trees raised the ghost of Annie Jean. Present at Hudson's premiere book signing in Brewton, Joe Formichella met Barnes' surviving children and became moved to tell the story in full. Who was culpable for their mother's death? The town physician who owned the camp? The authorities who mishandled the subsequent investigation? Had there been a cover-up? With so much evidence either contradictory or mysteriously missing, was there now any way to bring anyone to justice?Formichella, in seeking those answers, found instead a larger question: What would justice mean for a community built as though it were a functioning social model for certain principals set down in the deeply flawed Alabama state constitution--a document penned in 1901 by wealthy land-owners and politicians, seeking to keep the riff-raff at bay? Systems of justice, in Alabama, and throughout America, should be designed to protect precisely those citizens too poor to wield any kind of influence. This is the story of a breakdown in that system, a clarion call for its correction, and a ray of hope for those who have waited too long for the answer to the simple question: Who Beat Annie Barnes?"Murder Creek is an astounding story told powerfully and proudly. The unfolding facts pull the reader like a rip tide. I soon found myself engulfed in the quagmire of this real-life mystery story that wouldn't let go." -- Wayne Greenhaw, coauthor of The Thunder of Angels: The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the People Who Broke the Back of Jim Crow.Murder Creek was a national Forward Magazine and IPPY true-crime book of the year finalist.
