Description
The harrowing true story of a cold-blooded murder and one attorney’s quest to bring justice to a suffering Midwestern town
On a November night in 1990, Cathy Robertson was murdered in her home in Missouri. When the months-long police investigation stalled out, local law enforcement put the case into the hands of a private eye with his own agenda. In a close-knit town still reeling from the aftereffects of the farming crisis, friends and neighbors turned on each other. Mark Woodworth, the Robertson family’s neighbor, received four life sentences for Cathy’s murder, and the original suspect would be largely forgotten.
In a surprising, dramatic narrative that spans decades, Mark’s seemingly unwinnable case is taken on by Robert Ramsey, an attorney determined to uncover the truth. But the community’s way of life is irrevocably damaged by the trauma caused by the parallel tragedies of the farming crisis and the unsolved murder—raising crucial questions about the moral code of conduct of our entire nation.
