This put him in the crosshairs of the White Knights, one of the most violent sects of the KKK in the South—which carried out his murder in a raid that burned down his home and store.A riveting account of the incident and its aftermath, When Evil Lived in Laurel is a tale of obsession, in which the infamous Imperial Wizard Sam Bowers became so fixated on killing Dahmer that the bungled attack ultimately led to Bowers’s downfall and the destruction of his virulently racist organization.
