Publisher's summary

William Pepper was James Earl Ray's lawyer in the trial for the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr., and even after Ray's conviction and death, Pepper continues to adamantly argue Ray's innocence. This myth-shattering expose is a revised, updated, and heavily expanded volume of Pepper's original best-selling and critically-acclaimed book of the same name, with 26 years of additional research included. The result reveals dramatic new details of the night of the murder, the trial, and why Ray was chosen to take the fall for an evil conspiracy - a government-sanctioned assassination of our nation's greatest leader.

The Plot to Kill King will release in sync with a feature film adaptation of it that will be directed by Lee Daniels, have Hugh Jackman star as the author, and be produced by Millennium Films. The film will portray Pepper in trial and his proof of an assassination plot masterminded by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, the CIA, army intelligence, the mafia, and Memphis police. The plan, according to Pepper, was for a team of United States Army Special Forces snipers to kill King, but just as they were taking aim, a back-up civilian assassin pulled the trigger.

In The Plot to Kill King, Pepper shares the evidence and testimonies that prove that Ray was a fall-guy chosen by those who viewed King as a dangerous revolutionary. His findings make the book one of the most important ones of our time - the uncensored story of the murder of an American hero and disturbing revelations about secret under-workings of the government and how it continues, even today, to obscure and obfuscate the truth.

Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for those interested in history - books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times best seller or a national best seller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Excellent

Detailed and supported. Totally tied the information together that provides the answer to what happened to MLK. Unfortunately the truth means nothing anymore. To many people and organizations would look bad if it was actually believed so knock it down

Incredible

I think this is the first book that I’ve felt it an honor to read (listen to). I can feel the author’s passion in providing an accurate depiction of what really happened on that April 4th day in 1968. I can also feel his heartache and discouragement in the realizations going through this process has had on him and his faith in those that hold power in this country. I truly appreciate the thoroughness of his research and the rarity of moral character and courage that he has shown. A truly amazing work. Thank you, sir.

Great read

Well written and explained. Hopefully one day history will catch up to the truth. Not likely. Seems the powers that be want the narrative to be right where it is now.

Riveting

It is insanely difficult for me to believe the tampered with historical version of this story after listening to this. Well done sir.

Jaw Dropped!

The extensive research that went into composing this book was evident cover to cover.... It was difficult to learn what really happened to Dr. King but the truth needs to be heard by all.... Great Book!

Very informative!

Learned many new facts on the case. Not surprised Dr. King was eliminated by cowards who control the narrative. Not surprised about the disinformation. My eyes are wide open. Open yours and see the real truth.

Eye Opening read

Every parent must read this to their small children. No one can expect a school system ran by a government that infringes on it's citizens' rights to tell the truth about history.

A must read

I love all the details and back stories of the individuals directly or indirectly involved. And how he went through the sequence of events and even why he was killed. A very good read and easy to follow.
