The Past is Never Dead by Harry MacLean is the story of two murders that were overshadowed by the murders of the civil rights workers during Freedom Summer. The bodies of these two young, Black men were found only because the FBI was frantically searching for the bodies of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner because suddenly the nation's focus was on Mississippi due to Goodman and Schwerner being white.
The book follows the 2007 trial of the main suspect and the information that has been hidden for forty years by local and federal authorities. MacLean states that the trial should have featured an additional defendant, the state of Mississippi. I would add a third defendant-the federal government.
The story is disjointed at times and I only give this book four starts instead of three because, to my knowledge, it is the first book that has been written on the case.
A great podcast, Someone Knows Something-Season 3, regarding this case can be found here: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/season3/listen-season-3-dee-moore-1.4360239
