Originally I bought this book for the sole reason that I was born in Cape May Court House, which isn't a courthouse at all but rather a small town in southern New Jersey. When I got the book, I was surprised to find it was a true crime story about a doctor whose pregnant wife was killed in a car accident. He blamed seat belts and the car manufacturer and tried to sue, but in the course of an investigation, authorities became suspicious about the cause of death and ended up trying him for murder.

The book is an interesting read, and very informative in regards to seat belt safety and law. I enjoyed reading it, not the least because the doctor in the story took over a retiring physician's practice when he moved to Cape May Court House, and my father had been a patient of the older doctor. Small world, eh?
