"Furious Hours" Reveals Harper Lee’s Unfinished Book

Tens of millions of readers got their first glimpse inside of a
courtroom from To Kill a Mockingbird . Now Harper Lee's 1960 novel
remains a staple on middle school reading lists, and the film
adaptation has captivated countless social justice warriors, law
students, parents and pet owners. Lee spent years writing about
another case in an Alabama courtroom some 17 years later although
she never published the intended book. That case and that
mysterious book are at the center of Casey Cep’s new book Furious
Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee .
