The Other Half by Tom Buk-Swienty
The most bizarre unsolved murder mystery in Tampa Bay history. That's how newscasters describe the true story surrounding the 1977 death of Dunedin Florida business and family man, Robert John Dirscherl Sr. Police called it suicide, but the facts and physical evidence indicated otherwise. Then the family receives an anonymous deathbed confession letter sixteen years after the mysterious death, and their amazing quest to uncover the truth begins. Twenty years after a shotgun ended Dirscherls life, TV producers air the story on NBCs Unsolved Mysteries, hoping to generate new leads. Did the dead man himself provide clues from the other side? Was the information passed on by a psychic stranger on a train really implying God was involved the whole time? This amazing quest for truth and justice may cause you to experience the quick chill or unexpected tear as you discover along the way one of the most fantastic and touching true stories you'll ever read.
