Two Truths and a Lie: A Murder, a Private Investigator, and Her Search for Justice by Ellen McGarrahan
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 314.8 MB
Overview: A journalist-turned-private investigator returns to the case that has haunted her for decades–a death row execution that may have killed an innocent man–in a deeply personal quest to sort truth from lies.
In 1990, Ellen McGarrahan was a young reporter for the Miami Herald when she covered the execution of Jesse Tafero, a man convicted of murdering two police officers. When it later emerged that Tafero may not have committed the murders, McGarrahan became haunted by that grisly execution–and appalled by her unquestioning acceptance of the state’s version of events.
Decades later, in the midst of her successful career as a private investigator, McGarrahan finally decides to find out the truth of what really happened. Her investigation takes her back to Florida, where she combs through court files and interviews everyone involved in the case. She plunges back into the Miami of the 1960s and 1970s, where gangsters and drug kingpins and beautiful women inhabit a dangerous world of nightclubs, speed boats, and cartels. Violence is everywhere. The tragedy of the two murdered police officers, she discovers, is only the start of the mystery. But even as McGarrahan circles closer to the truth, the story of guilt and innocence becomes more complex. She gradually discovers that she hasn’t been alone in her need for closure, because whenever a human life is forcibly taken–by bullet, or by electric chair–the reckoning is long and difficult for all.
Both a gripping true-crime story and a fascinating glimpse into the life of a private investigator, Two Truths and a Lie is ultimately a profound meditation on grief, complicity, and justice.
