Synopsis: The true story of a 1984 murder and the lengths one man went to in order to achieve justice for his brother&’s killing. The moment he found out his brother was missing and presumed dead, Ted Kergan launched a relentless effort to bring two suspected killers—a teenage prostitute and her much older grifter boyfriend—to justice and find Gary Kergan&’s body. Little did he know his quest would consume a fortune and take thirty years to reach its conclusion. Thwarted at first by the fact that his brother&’s body could not be located and a new district attorney was therefore reluctant to prosecute, Kergan had to keep track of the killers from New Orleans&’s notorious French Quarter to Las Vegas and points in between, waiting for a break in the case that seemed like it would never come. Then nearly thirty years later, science, detective work, and a brother's love and tenacity would combine for a resolution that would end in a dramatic trial in which a killer&’s diary would be a star witness.&“A tremendous story of love and murder, faith and tenacity.&”—Steve Jackson, New York Times–bestselling author of A Clockwork Murder &“A deeply moving story of powerful devotion.&”—Anthony Flacco, New York Times–bestselling author of A Checklist for Murder
