The synopsis:

Jessica O’Grady was a tall, starry-eyed Omaha, Nebraska co-ed in search of finding her Mr. Right. Christopher Edwards was a deceitful and darkened soul. Dave Kofoed was on the prowl for more high-profile sensational murder cases to keep his prestigious crime lab in the media spotlight.

In May of 2006, Jessica’s sudden and mystifying disappearance quickly turned into the biggest news story in Nebraska. Hundreds of volunteers scoured lakes, creeks, riverbeds, forests, parks and barren fields.

But it did not matter how hard people tried, nobody could find Jessica’s body. Clearly, something awful and grisly happened to Jessica inside a west Omaha home where one noteworthy clue made Edwards the prime suspect.

Enter CSI commander David Kofoed. A week later, he emerged on the case.

By that point in time, Kofoed had gotten away with producing false clues and planting blood in other high-profile murder cases across Nebraska’s Heartland. O’Grady’s friends and family were sad. They starved for answers. They demanded swift justice.

Kofoed faced a dilemma.

Would he work up some secret magical evidence back inside his Omaha crime lab to avenge Jessica’s murder? Or would he let Christopher Edwards continue to mock law enforcement and roam free in the community?

Select one of the options below, then give us your opinions of the titles (or more suggestions for titles or subtitles) by leaving a comment at the bottom of the page. Participants will be registered to win one of twenty free copies of the eBook.

An hour's drive from Omaha, Murdock, pop. 269, seemed about the last place on Earth to be the setting for one of the Heartland's most ruthless and gory double murders in decades. The little farming town in western Cass County had gone more than a century without a single murder.

The frightening and chilling killings inside the upstairs of the farmhouse captured state news media attention. Residents in the country were filled with fear, panic and outrage. Who killed Wayne and Sharmon Stock? What was the motive?
