Shadow on the Hill

This audiobook recounts the tragic and complex case of a brutal murder in Coffey County, Kansas, in 1925, where several men were initially suspects before the victim’s husband, John, faced two high-profile trials and was ultimately acquitted. Decades later, historian Diana Staresinic-Deane revisits the investigation, uncovering new insights into the case amid a backdrop of flawed evidence and a community eager for resolution. Through her research, she also uncovers a potential witness who may have seen the crime unfold.
