Description:
In May 1981, 21-year-old Danny Hansford was shot dead inside Savannah’s iconic Mercer House by the man who had taken him in—renowned antiques dealer Jim Williams. What followed was a legal saga of four murder trials, whispered secrets, and a carefully controlled narrative that would inspire the bestselling Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. But beneath the charm was a story of grooming, power, and a city too invested in preservation to confront its truth. This is the real story behind the myth.
