The media has often portrayed him as hapless and apolitical, someone who must have been paid by clandestine forces, and its a narrative that Ray himself put in motion upon his June 1968 arrest in London, then continued from jail until his death in 1998. <em>Klandestine</em> documents the evolution of Rays alibi from 1968 to 1999the year Dr. Kings own family declared him an innocent manyet argues that he was indeed motivated by racial hatred and did in fact pull the trigger. It closes the book on the conspiracy that Ray and his defense team created, which asserted that Raoul, a mysterious seaman with deep connections to the criminal grapevine, framed Ray as part of a complicated New Orleansbased conspiracy. Ray brought Raoul to life by forging a lucrative publishing partnership with two very strange bedfellows: a slick Klan lawyer named Arthur J. Hanes, the de facto Klonsel for the United Klans of America, and checkbook journalist William Bradford Huie, the darling of <em>Look</em> magazine and a longtime menace of the KKK. Despite polar opposite views on race, Hanes and Huie found common cause in the lucrative world of conspiracy; together, they thought they could make Memphis the new Dallas.
