"In this shocking account of a murder and its aftermath, journalist and reporter Arthur Bell probes the facts behind a crime of violence - the brutal slaying of John Knight III in Philadelphia - and reveals how the victim's secret life brought about his own death. Kings Don't Mean a Thing reads like a gripping work of fiction. The book captures all the bizarre details of the Knight murder, from the senseless events that took place on the night of December 7, 1975, to the final macabre courtroom scene, months later, when the truths of John Knight's torturous double life were laid to rest. More than a character study or detective story, the book is also a personal odyssey in which the narrator himself becomes part of the unfolding events." $17.50USD
