About this item

"A rapid-fire, real-life thriller." - New York Times bestselling author M. William Phelps The lovely widow had confessed to the coldblooded murder of her husband. But Dorothy Marcic suspected a more sinister tale at the heart of her beloved uncle's violent death. The brutal murder of LaVerne Stordock, a respected family man and former police detective, shocked his Wisconsin community. On the surface, the case seemed closed with the confession of Stordock's wife, Suzanne. But the trail of secrets and lies that began with his death did not end with his widow's insanity plea. Dorothy Marcic, a playwright, theatrical producer, and university professor, couldn't put her doubts to rest. In 2014 she embarked on a two-year mission to uncover the truth.
