Blount Mansion: Book Signing with Kem Hinton
Thursday, November 13, 2025 • 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Blount Mansion will host the book Signing of Nether Land by Kem Hinton. When Kem Hinton learns of the 2014 murder of Ed Netherland, his former classmate in high school and at the University of Tennessee, he’s stunned to unravel this individual’s wild career after serving as a football trainer for the Vols (1972-1976). Smart, inventive and super ambitious, Netherland soared to great wealth in toxic waste disposal schemes and life insurance investments. Yet in 2014, he was killed in the USVI. This nonfiction saga documents his roller coaster lifestyle and attempts to answer questions that still exist about a crime in paradise that remains unsolved.
The speaking event will be at Blount Mansion Visitors Center. Limited free parking is available onsite. A $5 donation is suggested at the door; cash and cards accepted. RSVP to [email protected].
