This book covers the murder of Martin Dillon. Dillon was killed in 1976 at the age of 30. The death was thought to be an accidental shooting, as his best friend was with him at the time while they were skeet shooting. The friend, Stephen Scher, changed his story multiple times. He married the victim's wife in 1978, before moving states and starting a medical practice. He also raised the couple's children as his own. Dillon's family demanded the case be reopened, and a second autopsy was performed, revealing evidence that did not align with an accidental death. 

This case was featured on Forensic Files, and this book is on the Forensic Files reading list for anyone interested in that. It presented the facts of the case in a clear and unbiased way. The telling of the story was entertaining and informative.
