The Colder Case Series #1
Uncivil Twilight
This is an alternate title edition for ASIN: B00WQDUSYC
Like “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” and Court TV, The Colder Case Series moves from the crime to the court proceedings, but reveals what happens beyond the verdict. The series includes detailed research into the little known process of after trial proceedings. From the appeal to commutation investigation to the ensuing decision by the Governor, the post-trial facts can be fascinating while shining rare light on this mysterious aspect of the criminal justice system. Even when the “system works” and a wrongful conviction is commuted, the wrongfully free remains free to kill again. When a wrongful conviction results in the wrongful execution, the tragedy is compounded while a serial killer celebrates a sigh of relief.
Book 1: Uncivil Twilight: The 1920s Death Sentence that Left a Serial Killer Free to Stalk and Kill Children in 1937 --Nina Martin, only 8-years-old, May Martin, just turned 12-years-old. Two sisters missing for months near the Baldwin Hills of Los Angeles. S.C. Stone, the neighborhood night watchman, was convicted of their murder. He was framed by a jailhouse snitch and a woman with something to hide, and he was sentenced to death. Los Angeles citizens were sure he was innocent. Many citizens of Inglewood a few miles to the south were sure the man that killed Nina and May in 1924 also killed two other small sisters and their friend in 1937, when Stone was still in prison, and they knew who the real killer was. Join the hunt for one of the most cunning serial killers of the 20th century, one who was never caught, one who was happiest when someone else was convicted of his murders.
