Moonshine Over Georgia: A Novel Based on Actual Events | Chris Skates
"Western Georgia, 1946. C.E. "Kid" Miller knows well the evil found in a jug. Disgusted by the husbands he's pulled out of the woods blind drunk and covered in vomit, the wail of their starving children haunts the revenue agent's dreams. But his attempts to recruit an insider to snitch on a major bootlegging operation put him on the wrong end of a gun barrel. With his own life on the line and the gangs growing bolder and more violent, he worries his work demolishing stills will only make his beloved wife a distraught widow. And as the courageous lawman hunts down his now-missing informant, he fears he's hurtling toward an inevitable showdown with the state's most notorious crime boss. Facing betrayal at every turn and a million places to hide a body, can he free the land of soul-destroying corruption before he's thrown in a shallow grave? Based on a true-life account, author Chris Skates takes readers into a world vastly different from the good ol' boy exploits depicted on popular TV. Drawing on his grandfather's years of tireless and perilous operations, prison interviews, and historical documents, Skates escorts the reader to a time in America full of heartbreak and breathtaking bravery."--Amazon.com.
