The Cop Who Wouldn't Quit
The Cop Who Wouldn't Quit
Author: Rick Nelson
Genre: Nonfiction
Book Type: Paperback


"In July 1979 John and Diana Wanstrath and their fourteen-month-old son Kevin were found shot to death at their home in a fashionable Houston suburb. Despite the fact that no murder weapon was found on the premises, the Medical Examiner's surprising verdict was suicide/murder committed by Diana Wanstrath. Shocked and outraged, homicide detective Johnny Bonds KNEW that this was no case of suicide. It had to be murder. But how could he prove it?"

Written by a reporter who covered the story. I really enjoyed this and could not put it down till done. What a miscarriage of justice could have happened if not for a really determined investigator.
