Mockery Of Justice: The True Story of the Sheppard Murder Case

by Cynthia L. Cooper, Sam Reese Sheppard

Although Dr. Sam Sheppard's conviction for the infamous and brutal 1954 murder of his wife Marilyn was overturned in the 1960s, the real killer has never been identified. In Mockery of Justice, his son Sam Reese Sheppard and attorney Cynthia L. Cooper reinvestigate the crime. Drawing on recently recovered documents, Sheppard family papers, and interviews with new witnesses and suspects, they offer convincing evidence pointing to the real murderer, evidence that has persuaded the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor to reopen the investigation into the case.

From the 4 or 5 books which I've read over the past 22 years on the Dr. Sam Sheppard murder case, this is IMHO the best and the most approachable book.
Sam Reese Sheppard wrote a convincing book why his father was innocent (he was accused of having murdered his wife Marilyn Sheppard).

I just couldn’t get into this one. The writing was fairly dry and felt very distant from the events - which can be a good thing, but in this case came out as bland.
