Overview

Authors Cary O'Dell and Richard L. Sprehe lead a literary investigation of a brutal cold-case murder.

In May of 1975, in the small Southern Illinois town of Centralia, the body of one of its best-known residents, John Shakespeare, was found nearly nude, bound and shot, execution style, in the basement of his home. Shakespeare, 69, was a wealthy bachelor, an eccentric, an heir to the Shakespeare fishing fortune, a world-renowned collector of vintage cars, and, maybe, a possessor of a few secrets.

Despite being well-liked in the community, state and local police, and eventually even the FBI and Interpol, when investigating the crime, found a plethora of suspects. Could it have been his long-time business associate? Or the mysterious hitchhiker seen in town just days before his body was found? Or a long-ago name from his past?
