Bøger af Raymond a Guadagni

In 1974, the brutal murder of Anita Fagiani Andrews, a fifty-one-year-old former beauty queen and mother of two, shook the small working-class town of Napa. Detectives, criminalists and forensic experts raced to identify who'd struck Anita down in her own bar, but despite their efforts, the case went cold. Decades passed, during which the town grew into a world-renowned wine region and tourist destination, but the case remained an open question. After thirty-seven years, thanks to DNA evidence, the killer--imprisoned for a different murder--was finally found and brought to justice. Join author and retired judge Raymond A. Guadagni as he tells the story of the shocking murder, the investigation and the subsequent trial over which he presided in 2011.

"This is retired Judge Ray Guadagni's second book, following 'The Adventures of the Squeeze Box Kid' which described life in small town Napa in the '50s. 'Tuna the Wonder Dog' takes us to his attendance at UC Berkley, UC Hastings Law School and the beginning of his long and storied legal career through the '60s, '70s and beyond. His 17 1/2 year relationship with his fantastic wonder dog Tuna is lovingly described in beautiful prose. Thank you so much, Roy, for sharing your memories and humor with us! I can't wait for your third book!" Judge Richard Bennett (Ret.)
