Two little girls, frozen in black and white. One picture worth
killing for.
The Civil Rights Movement is less than a distant memory to Lisa
Waldren--it is someone else's memory altogether, passed on to her
through the pages of history. Her life as a federal prosecutor in
Boston feels utterly remote from the marches in the South that
changed her father's generation--and the entire
nation--forever.
But the truth is, she was there.
When a photograph surfaces showing a blond, four-year-old Lisa
playing with an African-American girl at a civil rights march in
Fort Worth, Lisa is faced with a jarring revelation: the girls may
have been the only witnesses who observed the killer of civil
rights leader Benjamin Gray . . . and therefore the only ones who
can exonerate the death row inmate falsely accused of the
murder.
Soon, Lisa finds herself in the dangerous world her father had
shielded her from as a child. After some searching, the Waldrens
find the other little girl from the photo and, in the process,
uncover conspiracy mere steps away from the likes of Bobby Kennedy,
Lyndon Johnson, and J. Edgar Hoover.
Based on real events and a photograph snapped by author Lis
Wiehl's own G-man father, "Snapshot "is a remarkably original
marriage of mystery and history.
