From the dense woods of the Appalachian Mountains comes this true
tale of deception, murder, and greed in a tiny West Virginia town.
M. M. Stoddart returns to the scene of the decades-old murders of
Glenn Roberts and his teenaged son, Timothy, to conduct a new
investigation of the biggest homicide case in Tucker County
history-one shrouded by suspicion and doubt for more than twenty
years. Glenn and Timothy were killed by near-contact shotgun blasts
from the same weapon on the same night. But their bodies were found
eight miles and three weeks apart. Stoddart reopens the cold case,
and soon finds that the murders were much more than a simple
botched robbery, as West Virginia authorities had previously
concluded. New information uncovers a vast web of missing evidence,
deceit, and family intrigue. Set in an impoverished mountain
community in the early 1980s, this shocking and compelling story
exposes the tragedy of wrongful conviction and the true meaning of
justice.
