Spam - A Biography by Carolyn Wyman
This full color edition of the Hall of Mirrors is the most thoroughly researched work on the Ruby McCollum story published since the work of William B. Huie. Written by the author who first published the annotated transcript of the murder trial, this work explores recent attempts to revise Ruby McCollum's story to suit the motives of various authors, academics and film producers. Hall of Mirrors avoids the confirmation and presentist biases found in other works and presents this captivating story in its proper historical context. It contains the full text of Ruby McCollum's letters from prison, and from the Florida State Mental Hospital, which are highly revealing of her personality. It also publishes, for the first time, the letters of Adams's nurse, Edith Park, who exposes Live Oak's dirty little secrets within the medical community. It is a must read for anyone seriously interested in the facts of the case, but is guaranteed to offend those who steadfastly deny Ruby McCollum's guilt and her role in the affair with Adams.
