by Adela Rogers St Johns (Author)
Final Verdict is a gripping true crime book written by Adela Rogers St. Johns, a renowned American journalist and author. The book tells the story of the sensational trial of Dr. R. Bernard Finch and his lover, Carole Tregoff, who were accused of murdering Finch's wife, Barbara Jean Finch.The trial, which took place in Los Angeles in the 1960s, was one of the most high-profile cases of its time, capturing the attention of the nation. St. Johns provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the murder, the investigation, and the trial itself, drawing on her own observations and interviews with key players in the case.Through her vivid and compelling writing, St. Johns paints a picture of a society in transition, where traditional values were being challenged by changing social norms. She explores the complex relationships between the defendants, the victim, and the other players in the drama, as well as the broader cultural and historical context in which the trial took place.Final Verdict is a masterful work of true crime writing that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
