Justice?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book was creepy in many ways. First you have a lunatic that went walking the neighborhood trying to get into houses, looking for his "friend". Then you have the police trying to pin a crime on three kids. I don't know which was worse. So many lives suffered because of both. A pretty good read for true crime lovers.

The story of three innocent families torn apart by loyalty of young boys. It was a very good book and carried you along to the end in order to try to determine who really was responsible and how in the world did those boys get themselves so involved in such a fantasy of disaster
An Intriquing true crime tragedy and the injustice that followed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I could not set the book down. The difference between this book and many true crime books out there -- is the writer has the details from the inside of the case. A stickler for facts and research the information in this book, written from a professional involved in the case clearly explains the complicated issues behind this story of the horrible murder of a young girl and the injustice that followed. John Philpin is not only a brilliant forensic psychologist and internationally respected crime profiler but he is an excellent true crime writer and a popular novelist. He brings the true crime genre to a new levels. This flawlessly detailed account of tragic crime, the investigations, injustice, and a journey to the truth that took too long coming are fascinating and unsettling.
