Cold Blood

When the nude body of a young woman is found in an abandoned orchard, all of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is on edge. After all, this is Middle America and murders like this don't happen here. Even worse, the teenage girl was strangled. It takes a few days for police to identify her as 15-year-old Deanna Gillean — a popular and promising high school student from a rundown part of town. The police quickly hone in on her father, Sam Gillean — a man with a serious drinking problem. After all, he and Deanna fought the night she disappeared, and he failed to report her missing for two days. Her brother and his rowdy friends, and a local sex offender are also on the list of suspects. But with almost no evidence and leads that go nowhere, the mystery lies dormant for almost a decade. That is, until a grand jury dusts off the case and discovers the truth had been there all along.
