Description: A riveting narrative that pieces together the life and murder of Black socialite Lita Mc Clinton Sullivan and the journey to bring her true killer to justice. The 1987 murder of Lita Mc Clinton Sullivan sent shockwaves through the affluent Atlanta suburb of Buckhead Georgia like few other crimes before it. The neighborhood with its stately mansions and top - tier schools was simply not the kind of place where women were gunned down in cold blood in broad daylight. How many socialites had enemies so dangerous they would be murdered by a hitman pretending to deliver roses on an early winter morning? Lita was an intelligent accomplished and stunning Black woman from a respected Atlanta family. Her interracial marriage to white millionaire Jim Sullivan who hailed from working - class Boston was a newsworthy occurrence in 1970s Georgia. For a while the couple made the marriage work but it wasn t long before Jim's roving eye and controlling nature put Lita on edge. When he bought a mansion in Palm Beach Florida (without telling her) the fa ade of their life together began to crumble. Finally after a decade of marriage she loaded her belongings in a U - Haul and never looked back. But as the legal battle over the divorce raged and Jim's financial outlook grew precarious he had a chance encounter with a long - haul trucker a smooth - talking ex - con who said he could he d "take care" of Jim's wife problem . In A Devil Went Down to Georgia award - winning writer Deb Miller Landau details the shocking events that followed Lita's murder in 1987, including the surprising lack of evidence racial bias in the justice system and the international manhunt for Lita's killer. Full of twists and turns legal battles and the Mc Clinton family's unrelenting dedication to justice Landau's rigorous investigation is the first complete account of this tragic American crime.
