How do you catch a killer whilst suffering from grief?Connor Phelan had his dream job as a prosecutor. He was on top of the world until the sudden and tragic death of his wife and unborn child brought it crashing down. He resigns almost immediately after the funeral and returns home to Rockfield, where he opens a small office of his own. Soon, Connor is back in the thick of things and finds himself as special prosecutor of Bob Clancy, an infamous local man, who is accused of strangling a high school cheerleader. After reviewing the case, Connor concludes that Clancy did break into the young girl's house, but he is not her killer. Connor believes the actual murderer was a serial killer from twenty years earlier dubbed The Rockfield Strangler. And it doesn't take long for DNA testing to confirm that the Rockfield Strangler is indeed back and has his eyes on his next victim.But how do you catch a monster who has eluded the police for so long, especially when you are still grieving and trying to rebuild your life?

In 1936, Bruno Hauptmann was executed for the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr. In the ensuing decades, many books about the Lindbergh case have been published. Some have declared Hauptmann the victim of a police conspiracy and frame-up. Hauptmann's Ladder is a testament to the truth that counters the revisionist histories all too common in the true crime genre.
