The book is a re-investigation into the Exeter CA murder of Donna Jo Richmond on December 26, 1975. Investigators follow evidence back to Visalia Ransacker, then north to Sacramento, in pursuit of the East Area Rapist now known as Joseph James DeAngelo. The book gives all the evidence to show that prosecutorial and police misconduct led to the wrongful conviction of Oscar Clifton, and the destruction of the evidence prevented efforts to prove his actual innocence.
