Dead Center: The Shocking True Story of a Murder on Snipe Mountain

Dead Center: The Shocking True Story of a Murder on Snipe Mountain, by Frank J. Daniels. When three bullets strike first time hunter and newly married John Bruce Dodson high on beautiful Snipe Mountain in Colorado, nearly everyone is able to label his death an accident. After all, each year there are hundreds of hunting accidents in the United States, many fatal and most involving shotguns or rifles. However, Colorado District Attorney Frank Daniels' suspicions about Dodson's unlucky accident are raised after learning from his forensics team that Dodson was hit by three bullets - one tearing through his chest, dead center. Delving deeper into the case, he discovers that Dodson's new wife is not only a crack marksman but half a million dollars richer from her recently deceased husband's insurance. A taut and gripping legal thriller, this is Daniels' own account of the case that changed his life. A fascinating tale of violent homicide, complex and tangled evidence trails and the trial of Daniels' life, Dead Center is a riveting behind-the-scenes story of greed, violence, and a crusading prosecutor's quest for justice.
