HarperTorch, 1999. Paperback. Very Good. The murder of 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey on Christmas night in 1996 inspire d sensational headlines throughout the nation--and plunged idyllic Boulder, Colorado's justice system into an ongoing nightmare. In Perfect Murder, Pe rfect Town, bestselling author Lawrence Schiller explores both the child's mysterious death and the exhaustive, yet often mishandled, investigation th at has, in the two years since the crime, failed to produce either a plausi ble scenario or a killer. The more that was discovered about the crime, the less likelihood there seemed of tying all the evidence into a single theor y that fit the murder scene. Meanwhile, conflicting agendas and personaliti es within the Boulder police department, the district attorney's office, an d the sheriff's office escalated a war that has all but eroded the picture- postcard image of liberal, laid-back Boulder.
