To The Last Breath: Three Women Fight For The Truth Behind A Child's Tragic Murder
The story opens with somber drama: The body of a 2-year-old girl is removed from her grave and transported to a hospital for a second autopsy. In the small Gulf Coast town of Alvin, Texas, the bereaved mother, the child's grandmother, and the female detective who has risked so much to champion their cause, await the opinion of a visiting pathologist. Carlton Stowers, whoseCareless Whisperswon the 1987 Edgar Award for fact crime, brings all the right skills to this tale of a sullen, possessive man who liked to play cruel mind games on his loved ones and apparently killed his young daughter in a slow and deliberate fashion. Perhaps at the end, we don't really knowwhyhe did it, but we will have come to know and admire the three women who fought for justice.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
