On April 28, 1984, Denice Haraway disappeared from her job at a convenience store on the outskirts of Ada, Oklahoma, and the ordinary, sleepy town erupted. Tales of rape, mutilation, and murder spread, and the police set out on a relentless mission to bring someone to justice. Six months later, Tommy Ward and Karl Fontenot were arrested. At the trial, they repudiated their "confessions" - no body had been found, no weapon produced, no eyewitness called to the stand. Yet the two young men were convicted of murder and sentenced to death. THE DREAMS OF ADA is a story of politics and morality, of fear and obsession, and of justice gone wildly awry. It is a moving, compelling portrait of one small town living through a nightmare.
From Oklahoma (in a literal sense) to Louisiana to Pennsylvania - this book is now on its way!
