Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to true crime cases that expose corruption within the system and how authority can be weaponised against the vulnerable.
You want a meticulously researched account that reads like a thriller but is grounded in court documents and real interviews.
You appreciate stories centred on women fighting to be believed, even when institutional power stacks against them.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer crime stories that focus primarily on the investigative procedure or forensic details rather than the human cost of the crime.
You're looking for something uplifting or redemptive. This is a tragedy that will leave you angry.
You struggle with content involving stalking, abuse of power, or violence motivated by sexual rejection.

About this book

Susan White attempted to warn friends and report to police about threats against her, but was not believed. After remarrying and relocating to Houston's suburbs, she encountered deputy sheriff Kent McGowen, whose unwanted advances she rejected. White claimed McGowen stalked and harassed her, using her troubled teenage son as leverage. McGowen, described as an aggressive officer with a problematic employment history, allegedly carried out threats against her in an act of revenge. Casey examines the case through available evidence to document what occurred, presenting a narrative centered on vengeance, fear, and the consequences of unchecked authority.
