I really hope you will take a look at my new favorite, A Criminal Injustice: A True Crime, a False Confession, and the Fight to Free Marty Tankleff . It's more about law enforcement than about the crime but I think it still fits what you are looking for.

I agree the book is fantastic. I highly recommend reading it. It really makes you think about situations in your life and the actions and reactions of the people aroud you.

Re: True Crime Book Recs.?
I went to Borders to pick up a book. I felt like a weirdo standing there in that section for some reason  I ended up getting "Shattered" since I remember her saying she likes the ones where the victims live and are able to tell their story. Hopefully she likes it. Thanks everyone
