Since Southern Illinois seems to get a fair amount of discussion on these boards and I enjoy them very much because I find the place fascinating. I thought I would esquire about books that use Southern Illinois as a theme. For example, I read Murder in Little Egypt. Any other books and or films that people would recommend?

Bloody Williamson by Paul Angle

It's not fiction, its a historical account of the war between "organized crime" and the KKK in downstate Illinois at the turn of the 20th century. It's really an amazing book.
