About the book

On July 4, 1954, in a quiet suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, Marilyn Sheppard was bludgeoned to death in her bed. After a cursory investigation, the police accused her husband, Dr. Sam Sheppard. Until The Wrong Man, the full story of this brutal crime and its stunning aftermath had never been told. James Neff offers groundbreaking revelations-- about DNA analyses, blood evidence, and negligent police work-- that prove Sheppard was innocent and reveal the identity of the true killer.
