On a Fourth of July evening in 2009, off-duty Houston police officer Tommy Harris was assaulted by a stranger with seemingly no personal motivation. In an instinctive attempt to defend himself, Harris wrestled his assailant to the ground—where he died within minutes.

To many, Harris' actions seemed like understandable self-defense. But he was soon caught up in a media frenzy as the local District Attorney latched onto the case as part of his bid for re-election. Paul Alexander's account of the botched police investigation, the District Attorney's aggressive zeal, and the ordeal of a man caught between the two demonstrates true literary prowess and a deep understanding of the genre. The author of the best-selling titles Murdered, Homicidal, and Mistried, Alexander provides compelling storytelling and new eye-witness accounts to bring this story to life.
