“J.Tom’s account of corruption and murder is gripping and full of surprises. His fight for accountability brought a tear to my eye. But as shocking as the crimes were—including the threats to J.Tom himself—the book also contains lighter moments that made me laugh. A modern-day To Kill a Mockingbird.”

~Norman Eisen, CNN legal analyst, Senior Fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, co-founder States United Democracy Center, author, lawyer

“J.Tom's compelling account is both chilling and satisfying, as you see justice being delivered upon a killer.”

~Richard Deane, President, Association of American Trial Lawyers and former United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia

“A Rainy Night In Georgia gives us many things: a thrilling read of a horrific crime; a tale of corruption and the chilling danger of facing it; and a plot as gripping as a good novel that familiarizes the reader with the authentic workings of the justice system. It is the inspiring first-hand account of a district attorney willing to put his own life at risk to assure that justice is done."

~Diane McPhail, author of The Abolitionist’s Daughter, The Seamstress of New Orleans, and Follow the Stars Home

“A fresh, fast-moving take. How the crime unfolded and the greedy, power-hungry motives behind it are as shocking today as the headlines were at the time. Mixing memoir with a compelling true crime story, J.Tom joins an illustrious group of attorneys-turned-authors whose page-turning prose keeps the reader as engaged as the jurors who once listened to their courtroom oratory.”

~Melita Easters, panelist at The Georgia Gang, Executive Director and Founding Chair at Georgia WIN List

“Combining J.Tom Morgan’s roles as prosecutor and shocked member of society, this is an unbelievable tale—one that was all too true. A riveting inside look at the unfolding investigation of an outrageous and bizarre assassination.”

~Bill Torpy, Metro columnist, The Atlanta Journal Constitution

“The public's confidence in justice was in the balance in the summer of 2000, and J.Tom never blinked. His decision to prosecute the murderers of Derwin Brown stands as the most courageous and consequential act I’ve witnessed in my 40-year career. A fascinating and original telling of his story."

~Dale Cardwell, former investigative reporter, WSB-TV

“Some criminal cases just stick with you, and this case sticks with me more than most. A Rainy Night in Georgia is J.Tom’s recount of both the personal risk and professional challenge of seeing justice served in this shocking and headline-making case. This book is a page-turner, a riveting tale not only about a crime and the investigation to follow but also about the importance of the First Amendment and the critical role reporters play. It is a reminder: The same greed, corruption and lust for power that made headlines in 2000 remain an issue today.”

~Deborah Norville, New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning television journalist
