Book Description:

On January 22, 1994, two-year old Renee Goode played happily with her sisters and cousin, as the four of them enjoyed an impromptu "slumber party" at the home of her father, Shane Goode. The next day she was dead.

The local medical examiner could not determine the cause of the little Renees death. But her mother Annette and grandmother Sharon were convinced she'd been murdered--and that they knew the identity of Renee's killer: her handsome father, Shane Goode, a manipulative, emotionally abusive man who displayed virtually no interest in Renee--until he took out a $50,000 insurance policy on her life.

With the help of a courageous female police investigator and Assistant DA, Sharon launched a case against Shan and had Renees tiny coffin, lovingly filled with her favorite stuffed animals, exhumed from its final resting place. And her small corpse revealed what her grandmother had suspected all along: cold, calculating Shane Goode had murdered his own daughter to cash in on her death.

When two year old Renee Goode died in her father's arms, her mother and grandmother suspected that he had killed her. And they would not give up trying to prove it. They found a female police investigator who was convince their suspicions were correct. Especially when they found that the father had taken out a huge life insurance policy on the little girl. Persistence paid off, and he was found guilty.

About a father who kills his 2 year old daughter for a lousy $50k life insurance policy.Author Carlton Stowers makes this TC book read like a novel, I like his style. If you like TC, this is an excellent read.
