Answer 1

I'm doing this from memory. The last time I read the book was a few years back. Bear with me...

Below, two links to get you started. The book is copyrighted material and unless you go to a bookstore and buy it, it will be a little hard to come by. I do not know of any book sites where an electronic version might be available. A used book store might have a copy. The story is a true life crime drama. It was based on real events in Savannah, Georgia. Jim Williams, a local celebrity, an antique dealer, shot and killed another man and went to trial 4 times. He was finally acquitted in the 4th trial and a short time later was found dead, probably from a heart attack. In the book, an architectural publication sends a writer to do a story on Jim Williams as a feature for the magazine. While the writer is researching the article, Williams shoots and kills Billy, an assistant. The rest of the book goes into the way the writer helps do research for the defense lawyer, a lot of which is used to gain the acquittal. No one knows the real story of what happened, as Williams never talked. The case was circumstantial, but from what I read, if accurate, Williams murdered Billy out of a lover's quarrel. In the movie, it is clearly depicted as murder with Williams firing the first shot and then covering up the crime by using another gun to make it look like Billy had fired first and Williams was defending himself. As the viewer, we see what happened, but the characters in the movie do not have this knowledge. Eventually, it dawns on the writer what must have happened when Williams proposes a hypothetical situation to the writer while he is considering pleading out on a lesser charge. At this point, his lawyer finds a technicality about gunshot residue which means Williams will be acquitted, so Williams takes it all back, refuses the plea deal and is acquitted. In the movie they show what appears to be a heart attack in his study and he imagines he sees Billy. The book, and later the movie, put a certain graveyard in Savannah on the map because of a statue of a girl holding scales, whose picture was used on the book cover. It was a fascinating book, and an even better movie. In this answer, I've mixed and matched from the book and movie and real events. I can't look up any quotes because I loaned my copy to a friend and have not gotten it back. The movie was directed by Clint Eastwood. His daughter played on of the parts, the girl the writer meets and becomes friend with. The writer is played by John Cusak and Jim Williams by Kevin Spacey, which is one of his finest performances in my opinion. A number of people in the movie are real people, the high society of Savannah, playing themselves. Most notable of people playing themselves, the Lady Chablis. Sorry, but this,  my answer, is a poor substitute for reading the book for yourself, or the news stories from archives, or even seeing the movie for that matter.
