The Perfect Crime That Couldn't Happen
In the quiet town of Flint City, Oklahoma, a horrific discovery shatters the community's peace. Eleven-year-old Frank Peterson's mutilated body is found in the woods, bearing signs of brutal assault. What follows defies logic itself. Terry Maitland-beloved Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two-is publicly arrested during a baseball game. The evidence against him seems overwhelming: fingerprints, DNA, multiple eyewitnesses placing him at the scene, even security footage showing him with blood on his clothes. There's just one impossible problem. At the exact time of the murder, Terry Maitland was seventy miles away at a teachers' conference, asking questions during a panel with author Harlan Coben. This isn't mere testimony-there's video footage, fingerprints at the hotel, and dozens of reliable witnesses. Detective Ralph Anderson faces an impossible contradiction: irrefutable evidence places Terry in two locations simultaneously. As District Attorney Bill Samuels puts it, "It's like he cloned himself." This fundamental paradox drives the narrative tension. How can a man be in two places at once? When forensic science-the cornerstone of modern criminal justice-presents two contradictory truths, what remains? The case forces Ralph to confront his deepest assumptions about evidence, reality, and the limits of rational explanation.
