This is a new book on the OCCK case written by Ellen Wilson.
You might remember Ellen from “Wilson’s Words and Pictures,” https://wilsonswordsandpictures.com/about-ellen-wilson/. I have linked to some of her web pages about the OCCK case and investigation over the years. They were insightful.
I ordered the book today. When she sent me a link to the book she observed that “truth wins out in the end. Always.”
Let’s hope so.

Thank you for sharing this book! I just ordered a copy as well.
Your blog keeps alive an obsession I have with this case, having lived in Berkley and now Kzoo. I hope you keep it going for a long time.
Thank you!

In my opinion, this was a good book for many reasons.
First, it keeps this case in the public view, and hopefully keeps people talking about the case. That alone is a good thing.
Second, it was well researched, and included important detailed information from all the past books, documents, reports and blogs, including this blog.
Third, the author definitely reads this blog, and therefore, incorporated some important updates from this blog into the book. This keeps the information current. That is good for any new readers who has not kept up with this case, and then decides to read this book first, as opposed to other OCCK books. But I would suggest to them to also read the other books as well. Each book has its own scope and purpose.
I also found that the book did provide me some additional detailed information that I never read in the past, and names of people that I had never read about before. It is probably more likely that I just missed this information in the thousands of pages of FOIA documents in the past, or elsewhere.
While some may consider this book as just a review of the same old information, I feel there is nothing wrong with reviewing this information. If the right person reads it, they can provide newer information or answers. Or in my case, it alerted me to something I never saw before.
