My latest recording is now available for pre-order on Audible with publication scheduled for May 2, 2023. This is a different sort of true-crime book written by a woman who unwittingly played a part in the story. True Crime Redux by Stephanie Kane is a product of Bancroft Press.
"More than a witness but less than an active participant, I was a bit actor whose role in the crime shaped my life.” So writes Stephanie Kane, who here recounts the dramatic events that forever fractured the lives of the Frye family, as well as her own.
The murder of Betty Frye goes unpunished for decades. Kane, ex-wife of Betty's son Doug, finally decides to tell her story by fictionalizing the events she witnessed, as well as those about which she simply speculated. The result is the novel Quiet Time. She shortly finds out, however, that fiction can oftentimes accurately mirror reality.
In her new true-crime non-fiction, True Crime Redux, Kane artfully describes the chain of events that followed the publication of her novel and brings a forgotten cold case back to life. She dives deep into the inner-workings of modern crime and punishment through the retelling of events she played an involuntary role in.
This strikingly transparent report of a brutal homicide engulfs listeners from the very first line. True Crime Redux is thus a perfect pick for true-crime fans looking for a compelling, true story that leaves no stones unturned."
