With a New Afterword
On April 4, 1968, James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King at the Lorraine Motel. The nation was shocked, enraged, and saddened. As chaos erupted across the country and mourners gathered at King's funeral, investigators launched a sixty-five day search for King’s assassin that would lead them across two continents. With a blistering, cross-cutting narrative that draws on a wealth of dramatic unpublished documents, Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers, delivers a non-fiction thriller in the tradition of William Manchester's The Death of a President and Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. With Hellhound On His Trail, Sides shines a light on the largest manhunt in American history and brings it to life for all to see.
Customer Reviews

Excellent research and a thorough examination of the evidence.
Outstanding!
Couldn't put it down.
Exceptional
This is a fascinating look inside the lives and minds of people whose courage and conviction changed the face of our country. Hampton is an unparalleled researcher driven to tell the story as the facts suggest not to create his own version.
