Colorado Cold Case — Marti Talbott

Sometime in the night a woman screamed. The next morning Pat Botham, Linda Miracle, and Linda's two toddler sons were simply gone. It was the perfect crime until the railroad lowered the water level in the Gunnison River and exposed the bodies. Almost immediately three prime suspects emerged, one of which was a deputy sheriff, and Mattie Rhoades knew something about him no one else knew -- something that made her believe he was the real killer. But in a small, tightly knit community where cops protect each other, there was no one to tell without putting her own life in danger. So she waited, watched, listened, and learned while another man was sent to the gas chamber. Then one day she made a giant mistake -- she told the wrong person.
