Description

The Book of Murder: A Prosecutor's Journey Through Love and Death A unique and unflinching look at the world of murder and the men and women who seek justice, Matt Murphy, a former senior deputy district attorney, shares his experiences and insights from a career spanning twenty-six years. This insider's perspective offers a rare glimpse into the decision-making process of a prosecutor and the personal toll it takes on those who work in this field. Murphy's account is a personal memoir, a taxonomy of murder, and a prosecutor's handbook, all woven together to create a captivating narrative. He recounts his work on a dozen cases, including those of Skylar Deleon, Rodney Alcala, and "Dirty John" Meehan, and reveals the complexities and challenges of seeking justice for victims and their families. Through his stories, Murphy humanizes the people who work to bring perpetrators to justice, and sheds light on the inner workings of the justice system. This is a thought-provoking and thoughtfully written book that offers a fresh perspective on one of the most serious crimes.
