McCracken Poston, Jr., a Life Member of GACDL, tells the riveting true story of Alvin Ridley, a reclusive TV repairman accused of murdering the secret wife no one knew he had, and the idealistic young lawyer determined to prove his innocence.

Set in a small Georgia town shaken by the 1997 case, attorney McCracken Poston uncovers overlooked evidence, medical testimony, and the hidden truth of Alvin and Virginia’s unusual marriage. What emerges is not only a groundbreaking defense but also an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of justice.

Part true crime, part courtroom drama, and part Southern portrait, Zenith Man reveals how a misunderstood, neurodivergent outsider was cast as either eccentric or killer, and how friendship and persistence changed two lives forever.
