Trell - Dick Lehr - Mystery Trell is curious and persistent, just like a news reporter. These are the qualities that finally convince Boston Globe reporter, Clemens Bittner, to help her out by investigating her father's prison sentence of life without parole, and bring the murder he is convicted of back into the limelight. According to her father's lawyer, Nora Walsh (Yes! Really! Mrs. Walsh!), this is exactly what they need if they are ever going to get a judge to order a new trial for the murder of a 14-year-old girl. But will it work? And what is the danger involved? Author Dick Lehr, a former Boston Globe reporter, relied on an actual murder investigation to craft this page-turning mystery. |
