By Thomas Thompson. This author photo is so quintessentially mid-seventies that I wrote it up on my blog about a decade ago. This story is also classic true crime: a black widower (possibly); a vengeful father (allegedly?); a legal precedent (Texas's first "murder by omission" indictment...basically, the inverse of Good Samaritan statutes as I understand it? not a lawyer!); and a story so complex and twisty that ID producers and podcasters can't resist it.
This HC is fairly well kept: some cornerwear to the jacket, but it’s done a pretty good job protecting the boards, and inside, the page toning is very mild, all pages clean, no dog-ears (some faint old-book smell, but for some, that’s a value-add).
