Having read several articles and books on the murder of Deana Roberts by two insurance scammers I knew the story. But this book opened by eyes to the difficulties encountered in proving the crime and to the dedication of her mother to achieving justice. The book might more properly be called the story of how a determined corporate attorney, Steve Keeney, enlisted in the fight to prove these circumstances. Through a chance encounter at church he decided to help the mother though that type law was outside his usual practice. The things he learns change his life profoundly. I found the book life-affirming and informative. The writing is excellent and there is no weepiness or sentimentality. There is an abundance of facts and credit to those who helped put the trashy criminal behind bars & finally get a fair trial and punishment. For those who love the law and true crime, this is a great read.
