When a businessman, Christopher Rawlings, drove his Bentley home one rainy evening, he never thought the day would end with him handcuffed in the trunk of his car and his wife and two young children in fear for their lives.
As his family waited inside their luxurious Woodland Hills home to greet him, a pair of thieves waited outside to rob him. But the police arrived before they could finish their home invasion robbery. This led them to try to escape by way of a high-speed chase which resulted in a car crash and Christopher’s untimely death.
The case was characterized by scant evidence and misleading clues, yet a LAPD homicide detective pursued every lead with unflagging determination to catch the culprits. The author Ronald E. Bowers who was a prosecutor for 43 years takes you through the investigation, drawing parallels between the persistent inquiry by the detective and that of legendary super sleuth Sherlock Holmes. You will be exposed to what really goes on behind the scenes during the nitty-gritty investigation and contentious courtroom drama.
