I know that this isn’t a book that we would normally feature here on Book Binge but we thought that this was a book that people should know about.
NO ROOM FOR DOUBT is…
A daughter’s account of how one moment of violence shattered lives, made heroes, and continues to affect change in the world.
On March 25, 1988, Debi Whitlock was brutally murdered in her Modesto, California, home. Debi’s murder devastated her family-and sent her loved ones careening on radically different paths. Debi’s mother, Jacque, wanted answers. Over the next nine years, Jacque courageously fought what others called a losing battle-and learned how to deal with the authorities, the media, and the public so that her daughter’s killer would not go unpunished.
Debi’s husband, Harold, was tossed down another path. Police investigators focused their suspicions on him, eventually uncovering motives and opportunity-but never enough to make a case. Judged harshly in the court of public opinion, the once funny, intelligent, and fiercely loyal man fell into a spiral of guilt, anger, and alcoholism.
Told by Harold’s adult daughter-the last person to see Debi alive-this is the story of a terrible murder and investigation that led to the ultimate end of one man’s life, and a renewed sense of purpose and hope in one woman’s life.
From the Publisher:
Angela Dove will be in Central California this March. On March 25, in her stepmother’s honor, she plans to dedicate a bench at the Merced County Courthouse Park “In Memory of Debi Anne Whitlock and All Victims of Violent Crime.” Angela and Jacque are both available for interviews. Please be in touch if you’d like to schedule an interview with either Angela or Jacque or if you have not received a copy of NO ROOM FOR DOUBT: A True Story of the Reverberations of Murder.
We thought it was pretty awesome that Angela Dove will be dedicating a bench in honor of the victim in this book so we thought it would be pretty neat to bring this to your attention.
This book is available from Berkley Trade. You can pre-order it here.
