Why you should read this book: This is probably the only book you will find in all of America's media about Steven Truscott and the Murder of 12-year-old Lynne Harper that is completely objective. Why you may avoid this book: There is an unconscious desire on the part of many to find greater meaning in the life and trials of Steven Truscott than is possible based upon the historical case.
