UNSPEAKABLE VIOLENCE

Genore Guillory was one of the nicest people anyone in the small town of Clinton, Louisiana had ever known. Then she was found dead -- shot, stabbed, and beaten to death with a baseball bat. Investigators had few clues. A policeman was the primary suspect. But there were rumors...whispers of a burgeoning group of white supremacists who sold meth, fought pit bulls and robbed graves.

What unfolded over the course of the four-year investigation was a twisted and sordid tale of small-town evil that shocked hardened investigators, exposed the worst of impoverished human nature, and betrayed the promise of a good life spent in "God's country."
