 Captain Marty Theer was murdered in the vestibule of his wife's office building. During the investigation, it was discovered that the wife was cheating on him while he was overseas and away for trainings. The lover of his wife, SSG John Diamond, was convicted of the murder. Investigators believed strongly that his wife had something more to do with his murder and spent the next six years investigating her to get justice for Captain Theer.

This case was featured on Dateline, for those of you interested in the Dateline reading list. It had more details than the episode did, however, I preferred the narration of the Dateline cast. The book was a decent true crime book, providing details in a respectful and unbiased way.

This book is different from most true crime books. It's a matter of opinion, but I found reading about a case without a clear murderer very interesting. I read it in about four days, which is very fast for me.  I think most people who read true crime will enjoy this book.

Very well done true crime account of a pair of astonishingly shallow, entitled, untruthful and adulterous lovers and the murder that resulted from their connection. I’d love to know which one the author believes pulled the trigger, but otherwise thought this book excellent. If you like detailed true crime tales about really bad people, that is.
