Description
"[An] account of the decades-long attempt to solve the murder of Adam Walsh... as relentlessly suspenseful as anything I've ever read." -- Dennis Lehane, author of Small Mercies
Before Adam Walsh there were no faces on milk cartons, no Amber Alerts, no federal databases of crimes against children. The six-year-old's 1981 abduction and murder in Hollywood, Florida -- unsolved for more than a quarter of a century -- forever changed America. His parents went on to become fierce advocates for missing children, and his father, John Walsh, served as host of America's Most Wanted. From New York Times-bestselling author Les Standiford, Bringing Adam Home is a harrowing account of the terrible crime and its dramatic consequences, the emotional story of a father and mother's efforts to seek justice and resolve the loss of their child, and a compelling portrait of Miami Beach Homicide Detective Joe Matthews, whose unwavering dedication brought the Adam Walsh case to its resolution.
