The reason for writing my sister's story is to display my everlasting, ever-loving memories of Mary H. Smith. She was my second eldest female sibling. Her story is about how she was killed and how her crime was eventually solved after 23 years. As I wrote this story I relived the events of:How my parents reacted when they went to the morgue to view my sister's badly beaten body.How my niece Michelle Strickland, a Cook County Correctional officer, discovered the murderer, a felon by the name of "Escort", by processing his paperwork.How our neighbors processed Mary's death and consoled none of us. How my longtime friend from the neighborhood came to me with two pistols. One for each of us to exact revenge and how we learned later that our target had nothing to do with the crime.

Now a New York Times Best Seller and a National Book Award finalist. Charged with racial, sexual, and political overtones, the confirmation of Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court justice was one of the most divisive spectacles the country has ever seen. Anita Hill’s accusation of sexual harassment by Thomas, and the attacks on her that were part of his high-placed supporters’ rebuttal, both shocked the nation and split it into two camps. One believed Hill was lying, the other believed that the man who ultimately took his place on the Supreme Court had committed perjury. In this brilliant, often shocking book, Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson, two of the nation’s top investigative journalists examine all aspects of this controversial case. They interview witnesses that the Judiciary Committee chose not to call, and present documents never before made public. They detail the personal and professional pasts of both Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill and lay bare a campaign of lobbying, public relations, and character assassination fueled by conservative power at its most desperate. A gripping high-stakes drama, Strange Justice is not only a definitive account of the Clarence Thomas nomination hearings, but is also a classic casebook of how the Washington game is played by those for whom winning is everything.
