Title: The Doctor, the Murder, the Mystery
First published: 1992
Description: In 1968, Dr. John Branion was found guilty of murdering his wife in their posh Chicago home. After exhausting his appeals, he evaded authorites by fleeing to Africa. He was finally captured in 1983--but his case was far from over. It would take another seven years for Dr. Branion to prove that he was innocent--and that those who prosecuted him had known it all along.
