"This fascinating and timely book about the second rise of the Ku Klux Klan in America reads like a legal thriller. The story follows the rise and fall of Indiana’s con-man-ish grand dragon, D.C. Stephenson, whose qualities may remind some readers of a certain prominent political figure of today. When a woman brings an unlikely case against him, it challenges the status quo in 1920s Indiana, where belonging to the KKK became as common and as socially acceptable as belonging to the Rotary Club."
