An Unspeakable Crime

In the gripping retelling of a pivotal moment in American history, "Justice Undone" delves into the tragic case of thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan, who was murdered in 1913 Atlanta. As the investigation unfolds, Leo Frank, the factory's superintendent, becomes the primary suspect amidst a charged atmosphere of media sensationalism and societal prejudice. Award-winning novelist Elaine Alphin draws on primary sources to explore the profound impact of this case, which sparked racial and religious tensions, led to the formation of the Anti-Defamation League, and contributed to the revival of the Ku Klux Klan.
