Tulia: Race, Cocaine and Corruption in a Small Texas Town by Nate Blakeslee, read by James Boles "...as good as non-fiction audio gets"-AudioFile (Earphone Award winner ) Free sample available at http://podcast.audioevolution.org/ or buy CD or download at http://www.audioevolution.org/store.html "Boles' unflinching performance of the trial deliberations.. creates a palpable air of courtroom drama." -Publishers Weekly “…In this spellbinding, riveting, and exceedingly detailed work, Nate Blakeslee tells the stranger-than-fiction story of how one corrupt Texas cop managed to set in motion a juggernaut that put one-fifth of the adult black population of a small town behind bars, some defendants for as long as 90 years. James Boles provides a homespun reading, replete with West Texas accents, giving the book the necessary color and adding to the compelling drama. This is as good as it gets for nonfiction audio
