The Wrong Man
Neff, James
This Edgar Award finalist—one of Ann Rule’s
top five true-crime picks—is a “gripping” definitive account of the Dr.
Sam Sheppard murder case (The New York Times Book Review).
“My God . . . I think they’ve killed Marilyn!”
At 5:40 a.m. on July 4, 1954, the mayor of Bay Village, a small suburb
of Cleveland, Ohio, received a frantic phone call from his neighbor Dr.
Sam Sheppard. The news was too terrible to comprehend: Marilyn, Sam’s
lovely wife, was dead, her face and torso beaten beyond recognition by
an unknown assailant who had knocked Sam unconscious and escaped just
before dawn. In the adjacent bedroom, Chip, the Sheppards’
seven-year-old son, had slept through the entire ordeal.
Almost immediately, the police began to suspect Sam Sheppard. The local
press rushed to cast judgment on the handsome, prosperous doctor. After a
misguided investigation, Sheppard was arrested and charged with murder.
Sentenced to life in prison, he served for nearly a decade before he
was acquitted in a retrial. Until his death, he maintained his
innocence.
Culled from DNA evidence, testimony that was never
heard in court, prison diaries, and interviews with the Sheppard family
and other key players, The Wrong Man makes a convincing case for Sheppard’s innocence and reveals the identity of the real killer.
This ebook contains ten photographs not included in previous editions.
