An American Tragedy.

"An American Tragedy" by Dan Flanigan is a thriller set in 1988 that explores the themes of fanaticism and legal corruption. The story follows Investigator Peter O'Keefe as he becomes involved in a disturbing case of alleged satanism at a local preschool. The novel draws inspiration from real-life cases, such as the McMartin preschool trial, and highlights the consequences of a justice system that becomes prejudiced and corrupt. Flanigan effectively builds suspense throughout the courtroom scenes and leaves readers with a teaser ending for the next book in the series. This book would appeal to fans of Clay McLeod Chapman's "Whisper Down the Lane" and James Chandler's "Misjudged." [Extracted from the article]
