A Case of Too Many Deaths: A Mother Calls, A Daughter's Life Turns Upside Down. A Mystery of Genetics and The Courtroom

By Nancy K. Napier

Book Overview

What does Emma know about her family? Not much, from the sounds of it.

Rookie lawyer Emma Raddell's estranged her mother's calls begging her to help exonerate an aunt she never knew about who is now on death row. This mysterious aunt was convicted of murdering her four children twenty-four years earlier and is now weeks away from execution.

Emma must find a way to clear her aunt, battling the legal system in the process, as she tries for a mistrial or a new trial. She also must find a way to counter the original trial's strong testimony by an undisputed expert.

As the investigation progresses, with the help of a retired Scottish librarian and a world-renowned geneticist, Emma races to uncover how the four children died-if she is to believe her aunt's claim of innocence-and find a way to save her aunt from execution. In the process, Emma must navigate her tense relationship with her mother while learning secrets that could shatter her belief in herself and her family.

An interplay between courtroom drama and a medical investigation, A Case of Too Many Deaths is a gripping mystery that challenges readers to piece together clues in a sophisticated and thought-provoking narrative.
