Publisher's Synopsis
Just a small moment, or collection of days in someone's lives, can change their fate forever. Especially when it involves murder. Summer Heat is a short story collection that explores snapshots into the past of certain notorious criminals. Inspired by In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, each story in this collection is based on a real murder case - except the facts are reimagined a bit. The author takes the reader on a thrilling journey into the past, and challenges the official narrative of what happened by addressing the gray area of "What if?"What if Walter Leroy Moody really didn't send the pipe bombs that killed his victims? What if Lizzie Borden really chopped her parents to pieces and got away with it?What if Leo Frank really was innocent, of murder at least? Could there be another narrative that fit the set of facts of each case? The stories in this book try to prove, maybe there is! Be sure to check it out. As a bonus, the Appendix to the book provides facts about the criminal cases the stories are based on, so that the reader can decide for themselves if the record, as set by the U.S. Criminal Justice System, really got it right.
