Join New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Rother for a discussion and signing of her latest investigative true crime book, Down to the Bone - a missing family's murder and the elusive quest for justice.
In her latest work of investigative nonfiction, DOWN TO THE BONE, Rother explores the messy high-profile case of the McStay family murders, which were featured on the cover of People magazine and in several TV documentaries. Rother takes readers step-by-step through the decisions, assumptions, and theories by detectives and prosecutors that ultimately led Joseph McStay’s waterfall builder, Charles “Chase” Merritt, to be sent to death row after a trial marked by accusations of confirmation bias and prosecutorial misconduct.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the celebrated author!
Caitlin Rother has written or co-authored 16 books, ranging from true crime to thrillers and memoir. A New York Times-bestselling author and investigative journalist, Rother worked nearly 20 years for daily newspapers.
