McCraken Poston, Jr. has written a book about a TV repairman who was a harmless eccentric or a bizarre killer in October 1997. Alvin Ridley, in the town of Ringgold in northwest Georgia reportedly had killed his wife. McCracken Poston, Jr, his legal attorney, pierced together the full story behind Virginia and Alvin's marriage and her cause of death. This is a true crime courtroom drama that shows how the Zenith man returned to his peculiar lifestyle, a free man. This is a great read that I will remember for a long time. Alvin was diagnosed as an autistic person. I have a granddaughter with the same diagnose and she is the sweetest person so I can understand the circumstances surrounding this case. If you like books about autism then you will love this book. Read it for yourself!
