What would you do if the truth about your city was more dangerous than the crime itself?
In the summer of 1973, Roland Hargis was gunned down inside Chattanooga's Tiki Hut Bar, just steps from the Tennessee River. His death shocked the community-but it also exposed something far darker.
Behind the polite smiles of Southern tradition lay a world of mansion parties, hidden affairs, corrupt lawmen, and backroom deals. Roland knew too much about too many people. And in Chattanooga, knowing too much could get you killed.
- Was his murder the act of a jealous husband, a rival, or something far more calculated?
- How deep did the cover-up go?
- And why, decades later, does the city still whisper his name?
Part true crime, part Southern gothic, Murder in Chattanooga isn't just about a killing-it's about the silence that followed. Jerrell L. Merrill takes readers into the shadows of a city where loyalty was fragile, betrayal was fatal, and justice was never guaranteed.
If you're drawn to true crime that reads like a novel but cuts with the sharp edge of reality, this is the book you won't put down.
