Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"This book will catch your interest and only tighten its grip as you read." Winston-Salem Journal

"Ultimately, when Railey shares his conclusion about who killed Holland, he is persuasive. But we will never know if it would have been enough to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. What we do know for sure is that Railey, already widely admired as an investigative journalist, has written a masterpiece of entertaining non-fiction. It should serve as a model for any other writer who wants to sort out an unsolved crime and write a readable and entertaining book about it." Chapelboro.com
