Summary
Like a nonfiction John Grisham thriller with echoes of Rainman， Just Mercy， and a captivating smalltown Southern setting， this is the fascinating true story—sometimes humorous， sometimes heartbreaking—of an idealistic young lawyer determined to free an innocent neurodivergent man accused of murdering the wife no one knew he had。
An inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice for readers of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and Just Mercy。
Was this small-town TV repair man “a harmless eccentric or a bizarre killer” （Atlanta Journal Constitution）。 For the first time， Alvin Ridley’s own defense attorney reveals the inside story of his case and trial in an extraordinary tale of friendship and an idealistic young attorney’s quest to clear his client’s name—and， in the process， rebuild his own life。
In October 1997， the town of Ringgold in northwest Georgia was shaken by reports of a murder in its midst。 A dead woman was found in Alvin Ridley’s house—and even more shockingly， she was the wife no one knew he had。
McCracken Poston had been a state representative before he lost his bid for U。S。 Congress and returned to his law career。 Alvin Ridley was a local character who once sold and serviced Zenith televisions。 Though reclusive and an outsider， the “Zenith Man，” as Poston knew him， hardly seemed capable of murder。
Alvin was a difficult client， storing evidence in a cockroach-infested suitcase， unwilling to reveal key facts to his defender。 Gradually， Poston pieced together the full story behind Virginia and Alvin’s curious marriage and her cause of death—which was completely overlooked by law enforcement。 Calling on medical experts， testimony from Alvin himself， and a wealth of surprising evidence gleaned from Alvin’s junk-strewn house， Poston presented a groundbreaking defense that allowed Alvin to return to his peculiar lifestyle， a free man。
Years after his trial， Alvin was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder， a revelation that sheds light on much of his lifelong personal battle—and shows how easily those who don’t fit societal norms can be castigated and misunderstood。 Part true crime， part courtroom drama， and full of local color， Zenith Man is also the moving story of an unexpected friendship between two very different men that changed—and perhaps saved—the lives of both。

This is a story not only about a legal case told in the greatest of detail， but also the unexpected friendship between two very different men。I must admit I wondered why the publisher recommended this book to me， as it was a bit of a stretch of my usual genre which is historical fiction。 "Zenith Man" revolves around the 1997 Georgia legal case of Alvin Ridley， accused of killing his wife， who he allegedly kept housebound for 30 years。。。。。modern'ish day historical non fiction。However， by the end This is a story not only about a legal case told in the greatest of detail， but also the unexpected friendship between two very different men。I must admit I wondered why the publisher recommended this book to me， as it was a bit of a stretch of my usual genre which is historical fiction。 "Zenith Man" revolves around the 1997 Georgia legal case of Alvin Ridley， accused of killing his wife， who he allegedly kept housebound for 30 years。。。。。modern'ish day historical non fiction。However， by the end the book I was fully invested in the outcome of the trial， and felt I had grown to know and like Alvin so well。。。my fingers and toes were crossed for the right outcome。Having a stepson with Asperger's， I early on diagnosed the condition that drove Alvin's behavior。 His habits， his obsessions， the way he communicated in a matter of fact non-emotive way。 I live in a small town myself so am well aware how people's prejudices can flow through and taint a community。The author McCracken Poston Jnr is Alvin's defence lawyer， and the detailed re-telling of their interactions in and out of court is amazing。。。I felt like I was riding shotgun the entire book。"Zenith Man" is an emotional true crime book which may take a bit of getting into but rewards the more invested you let yourself become in the rollercoaster of defending Alvin。 True life is often more bizarre and brutal than anything you can make up。 And the love shown by Alvin and Virginia is the best love。。。。。unwaivering， accepting and the best friendship anyone can have。Thanks to NetGalley， Kensington Books and McCracken Poston Jnr for my copy。 。。。more

I remember seeing this case on Forensic Files and being fascinated。 With that being said， this is not my go to genre。 However， I loved seeing the the friendship between McCracken and Alvin grow。 I found myself smiling every time he poked a hole in the state's case。 It is a lot of information and people to keep up with， so I found myself reading it slower as to not burn out。 Overall a decent read。 I remember seeing this case on Forensic Files and being fascinated。 With that being said， this is not my go to genre。 However， I loved seeing the the friendship between McCracken and Alvin grow。 I found myself smiling every time he poked a hole in the state's case。 It is a lot of information and people to keep up with， so I found myself reading it slower as to not burn out。 Overall a decent read。 。。。more

I was pleasantly surprised by this read。 It went in-depth into how an attorney went above and beyond to help a client that was very hard to work with due to his mental restrictions。 The writing was excellent。 I liked his sense of humor， and I am so glad he told this story。 I was rooting for Alvin all the way。 My husband is a retired detective， and I could not see how the police had enough evidence to charge Alvin from the beginning， but they did。 I don’t want to give out any spoilers， but I high I was pleasantly surprised by this read。 It went in-depth into how an attorney went above and beyond to help a client that was very hard to work with due to his mental restrictions。 The writing was excellent。 I liked his sense of humor， and I am so glad he told this story。 I was rooting for Alvin all the way。 My husband is a retired detective， and I could not see how the police had enough evidence to charge Alvin from the beginning， but they did。 I don’t want to give out any spoilers， but I highly recommend this one。 If you like a court drama with a few twists， pick this one up。 I received an ARC from Kensington Books and NetGalley for my unbiased review – This one comes in with 5 stars。 。。。more

This is a true story that still has me shaking my head。 An eccentric man is accused of murdering his wife。 A wife no one knew he had。 A lawyer picks apart the case trying to reveal the truth。 An unreal story of finding the truth and healing。

This is part southern gothic， part courtroom drama， a story about a man on the spectrum who is unjustly accused of killing his wife and the down-on-his-luck attorney determined to save him。 （There is a fake fiction， book out by the same name， but this one is the real deal。）It’s the story behind all of the TV segments that followed this case when it was in the news。 Compassionately written。 Ultimately this a story of redemption。

McCracken Poston is the best storyteller I've ever met， and even he outdoes himself with this， the most bizarre case he's ever had in a career filled with high-profile oddities。 And if you don't laugh so hard you're crying at the end， you need to see a doctor。 McCracken Poston is the best storyteller I've ever met， and even he outdoes himself with this， the most bizarre case he's ever had in a career filled with high-profile oddities。 And if you don't laugh so hard you're crying at the end， you need to see a doctor。 。。。more

I thoroughly enjoyed this book。 The author did an excellent job of explaining the legal proceedings while simultaneously keeping the reader aware of Alvin’s situation and giving thoughtful insight into Alvin’s unique feelings and way of thinking。 Reading this book had me literally laughing out loud one moment and being moved to tears the next moment。 It’s very well written， and I definitely recommend it。

This book is a great addition to the true crime genre。 Many true crime books struggle to balance the emotional side of their topics with the more technical aspects （trials， forensics， etc。）， but Zenith Man manages to combine both into a well-rounded and entertaining story about the outcast of a small Georgia town who is accused of murdering his wife。 The love Alvin had for Virginia （and vice versa） is fully on display， and the scene where Virginia's wedding ring is returned is heart wrenching。 C This book is a great addition to the true crime genre。 Many true crime books struggle to balance the emotional side of their topics with the more technical aspects （trials， forensics， etc。）， but Zenith Man manages to combine both into a well-rounded and entertaining story about the outcast of a small Georgia town who is accused of murdering his wife。 The love Alvin had for Virginia （and vice versa） is fully on display， and the scene where Virginia's wedding ring is returned is heart wrenching。 Coming from someone who rarely gets emotional over books， this is saying something。 Zenith Man also， unexpectedly for a true crime book， made me laugh out loud。 Alvin's antics and quirks are portrayed honestly and humorously， but never in a demeaning way。 Overall， along with being about a nationally televised murder trial， Zenith Man is also an insightful look at how snap judgements and public opinion influence investigations and trials。 。。。more

I remember watching the Forensic Files episode about Alvin Ridley and the death of his wife Virginia。 There was something different about Alvin， he was maybe not relatable， but he had a unique charm that made my heart go out to him。 I felt terrible for him that he had spent 30-ish years married to a woman who loved him and accepted him for who he was in a way no one else ever really had， and she passed away suddenly at a very young age。 As if that loss wasn't enough， Alvin suddenly found himself I remember watching the Forensic Files episode about Alvin Ridley and the death of his wife Virginia。 There was something different about Alvin， he was maybe not relatable， but he had a unique charm that made my heart go out to him。 I felt terrible for him that he had spent 30-ish years married to a woman who loved him and accepted him for who he was in a way no one else ever really had， and she passed away suddenly at a very young age。 As if that loss wasn't enough， Alvin suddenly found himself on trial for killing her。 He ends up represented by a young lawyer who obviously took the case very personally and was nothing like any other lawyer I saw on any other episodes of Forensic Files。 I chuckled when he revealed in this book that he has five older sisters。 You can tell！This book dives deep into the background of the case， telling Poston's story leading up to the case， how he and Alvin connected， and how Poston brought Alvin around to helping build his own case and letting Poston into his life， first as legal representation and then as a friend。 The entire trial is described in this book， which doesn't sound like it would be that interesting but was in fact very interesting。 As you read， you come to an understanding of Alvin much as the jury， and even the town of Ringgold， did。 There are also some really humorous moments where Poston's sense of humor comes out。Poston in this book is much more forgiving of some of the people involved in this case than I might be。 Specifically， Vanita Hullander， a brand new county coroner fed the medical examiner some false information when she delivered Virginia's body。 He took what she told him as fact （also a mistake） and he based his report on this false information。 I think if she had carried out her duties professionally， the medical examiner might have done the same， and then Alvin may never have been charged with murder。 At any point between the autopsy and the trial， they could have admitted their fault and changed the course of this case， but they stuck to their guns to the bitter end。 I'm frankly surprised that Hullander continued as coroner for that county for more than two decades after this case and still holds an elected office。 Perhaps this case was a learning experience for her。I'm not sure how I would classify this book， it's not true crime， it's not biography， it's non-fiction， maybe legal/medical non-fiction but not dry as that classification might suggest。 I'm hard-pressed to say "people who enjoy ____ would enjoy this book" but I will say that I think just about anyone would enjoy this book。Thank you to the author， publisher， and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC。 。。。more

One of the most enjoyable books I’ve read in a while。 It’s written with heart and Southern sass about a criminal case in my adopted state of Georgia。 It was a welcome distraction for me every time I picked it up。 It was always hard to put back down。 The people are better than characters in crazy fiction， and the story is as well。
