Love, Lies, and Murder

Synopsis:

A WEALTHY WIFE.
A successful lawyer, Perry March married the beautiful daughter of one of the most powerful attorneys in Nashville. Through his wife Janet, Perry won a position in his father—in—law's firm and joined the city's social elite. The couple raised two children in a mansion that Janet, a talented artist, designed. They seemed to have the good life and more.

A HUSBAND'S BETRAYAL.
But in 1996, when Janet vanished, police dug into Perry's past, turning up strange stories of sexual obsession, unfaithfulness, and vicious arguments with Janet. When they suspected that one of those fights ended in murder, Perry skipped town with his children.

A FATHER'S VOW FOR JUSTICE.
Janet's father would not let Perry escape so easily. He and his agents pursued the murder suspect to Chicago, and then to Mexico, where Perry opened a new practice and remarried. Still, ten years would pass before the desperate fugitive became trapped in his own web of deceit and betrayal.

Book Excerpt:

Detective Miller, a soft-spoken man, asked Perry March point-blank if he had killed his wife and disposed of her body.  Perry adamantly denied having harmed Janet in any way.  He admitted that he and Janet had argued on the night of August 15, but he said that he had not attacked her.  She simply took the things that she had packed and drove away in her Volvo.

"Look at me," Perry said at one point.  "On August 15, 1996, I was a respected lawyer in Nashville.  I had it all.  A beautiful wife.  Two wonderful kids.  Gorgeous home.  I was a go-to guy in the business community.  I was making good money.  Now, my wife has left me."

Later, Perry would go on-camera on CBS News' 48 Hours and tell a national television audience:  "Janet was a wonderful mother.  Very doting."

It seemed strange how he referred to her in the past tense.
