If Someone Is Killed and the Officials Refuse to Investigate, Is It Still Murder?
Book details
Summary
Description
Days before Christmas of 64, Olive Lewis was found slumped on her living room floor, dead from a bullet to the back of her head; the lunch she was cooking, still warm on the stove. Her entire Arkansas town suspected one man of pulling the trigger: Cecil, her husband. Yet, high-ranking officials, including Olive's own powerful attorney-brother, ruled her death a suicide while withholding an autopsy (tho state-mandated!) Sherry Lewis, twenty-two-year-old daughter of Olive and Cecil, embarked on a quest to uncover the truth, despite orders to, "Leave it alone!" Wading through lies, threats, and cover-ups, she succeeded in the battle for Exhumation, unraveling the mystery of her unstoppable search, spanning several states, two continents, and twenty-eight years. With the last, astounding piece of the puzzle finally in place, Sherry had her answer to the burning question, Is It Still Murder? Based on the author's true-life account, this page-turner is part murder mystery, part analysis of the often tragic consequences of self-serving officials' political abuse. A must-read for every survivor and a must-have resource for therapists: social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and family or school counselors.
