The 31-year-old oil field worker and small-time drug dealer was curled up on his side on the trucks bare metal, pressed against the tailgate, clad only in jeans, a checkered shirt, and cowboy boots. Inside the cab of the truck was a fresh package of expensive steaks from a local butcher shop-the first lead in a case that would be quickly lost in a thicket of bungled forensics, shady prosecution, and a psychopathic star witness out for revenge.Award-winning author Mardi Links third book of Michigan true crime, Wicked Takes the Witness Stand, unravels this mysterious and still unsolved case that sucked state police and local officials into a morass of perjury and cover-up and ultimately led to the separate conviction and imprisonment of five innocent men. This unbelievable story will leave the reader shocked and aching for justice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525186388256,"sku":"NEW0472051695","price":31.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51IPk7x-IyL_a9b89d63-ba39-4c75-8023-08a35e93cbaf.jpg?v=1777143234","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/wicked-takes-the-witness-stand-a-tale-of-murder-and-twisted-deceit-in-northern-michigan-0472051695","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
