This story is based on famous real-life cold cases. Its analysis and deductions are adapted primarily from evidence currently available online.
Cold cases are unique: from the moment a case goes cold until it is solved, the case files and evidence are already fixed.
There can be no steady stream of new evidence to upend the case and turn it into a twist-filled mystery.
So this novel has no convoluted, bizarre plot, only logic as calm as still water.
The author's analyses of these cases outside this site have been endorsed by many criminal investigators and forensic pathologists. The logic of the material is beyond question.
Reading detective fiction requires a certain grounding in logic. Those who can follow along may savor it carefully. If you find it frustrating, please stop reading.
