The night a small,peaceful town was robbed of its innocence.

I have relatives who have live in the town where this murder occurred,so I thought I knew the whole story.Was I ever wrong.This book is not just about the brutal rape and murder of a 73 year old retired school teacher.The investigation into Esther Steele's murder made the people of Granite,Oklahoma aware that criminals had long ago invaded this small,peaceful town.Most of the towns residents had no idea that drug dealers were living in their nice,safe little town.Or that respected members of law enforcement were criminals themselves.This book tells of loss on many levels.Loss of life,and a towns loss of innocence.But the focus of this book is about one thing.The rape and murder of a woman who had done so much good in her life.Please remember that if you read this book.By the way,the author of this book,Leonard Sanders,was born and raised in Granite.
