Synopsis

The true crime story of a Tennessee lawyer who took his children on the run with him after killing his wife, and a father-in-law who wanted justice.

A Wealthy Wife . . .

A successful lawyer, Perry March married the beautiful daughter of one of the most powerful attorneys in Nashville. Through his wife Janet, Perry won a position in his father-in-law's firm and joined the city's social elite. The couple raised two children in a mansion that Janet, a talented artist, designed. They seemed to have the good life and more . . .

A Husband's Betrayal . . .

But in 1996, when Janet vanished, police dug into Perry's past, turning up strange stories of sexual obsession, unfaithfulness, and vicious arguments with Janet. When they suspected that one of those fights ended in murder, Perry skipped town with his children.

A Father's Vow For Justice . . .

Janet's father would not let Perry escape so easily. He and his agents pursued the murder suspect to Chicago, and then to Mexico, where Perry opened a new practice and remarried. Still, ten years would pass before the desperate fugitive became trapped in his own web of deceit and betrayal . . .

This book recounts the case of Janet March. March was reported missing in August 1996. During the investigation into this disappearance, police did not believe the story March's husband was telling.

Goodreads review by Jill on March 02, 2023

The details of the case were interesting, especially being a local case where I didn’t know many details. It starts off telling the story in a detailed, straight forward way. However, the quoting of entire conversations was a little much. Including all the ums, you knows, and stutters made it hard t......more
