About the Book

Dead End is based on a true-life crime committed in 1968. The setting is a quiet vacation area in northern Michigan, where six members of a prominent family from the city of Detroit were slain in their vacation cottage. It is also a story of two Michigan State Police detectives who spend countless days, months and years trying to find and arrest the person or persons responsible. After years of intensive research, a review of official Michigan State Police reports and correspondence with individuals familiar with the case, the author has come to some startling conclusions as to who may have committed the crime and why.

Dead End is a story that no one could imagine or conceive that it could actually happen, but it did. It will make you turn each page with anticipation and anxiety in order to find out the conclusion of this despicable crime.
