Murder of an Uncommon Man

An unexpected call from Riverton, Manitoba, in 2007 forced Janet Berg to confront her father Daniel's life and death. A farmer found him dead in a field with a shotgun, and the forty-year-old scientist needed to explain why. From her home in Seattle, half a continent away, she sifted through musty boxes and her memories to piece together what happened to Daniel during his last twelve years of estrangement. Poring over scribbled notes, emails, police reports, and her father’s well-worn Bible, she uncovered a life that ended in one of two ways. The key to solving his murder lay in two crime scenes involving the same suspects and victim. As she placed the final pieces of the puzzle, a call from Riverton confirmed her suspicions: the killer had taken her next victim, and a second family was helpless to stop her. Janet’s memoir chronicles the search for her father’s killer and her own identity.
