width="225" height="311" align="right">ROD SADLER </strong>worked
as a police officer in Mid-Michigan for thirty years, retiring in
2012. He began researching his first book after discovering the
story of a brutal 1897 murder in Williamston, Michigan, a town
where he had spent his childhood. His great-grandfather served as
the sheriff at the time of the murder, and he was integral part of
the investigation. After returning to college late in his law
enforcement career, he discovered his love for writing, and he
decided to write about what he knows best...true crime. In Rod's
books, you'll find an enormous amount of research into the murders
he writes about. His attention to detail allows him to craft
intriguing, detailed accounts of a series of Michigan murders.</p>

width="200" height="308" align="left"></a>"Sadler’s book
investigates in detail many violent and psychotic offenders who
were swept up, interviewed, and finally exonerated or left with
no conclusive details. Of particular interest was an oddly
similar case at Starved Rock State Park in Illinois where three
young women had been tied up and brutally beaten to death in
March 1960. Chester Weger, the perpetrator of that crime, was
exonerated only because he had been released from an Illinois
jail on July 24th and reported for work on time on July 25th.
Still, Sadler cannot shake the idea that a serial killer may
have been involved and a final chapter on serial killer Jerald
Winegart raises disturbing questions about how the case might
have been resolved with long-term evidence retention.<br>
<br>
Throughout the book, the reader will learn how hard a real-life
detective has to work and how many dozens of dead ends they will
hit along the way. Having stayed on Mackinac Island several
times, beginning with my honeymoon in 1990, I was fascinated by
the level of detail and familiar hotels, bars, and other
establishments that are still around. Whether you are a fan of
Mackinac Island in particular or cold-case crimes, there is a
treasure trove of historical detail to enjoy in Rod Sadler’s
“Grim Paradise”. Sadler sincerely hopes that this work may jog
the memory of a reader and provide a missing puzzle piece for
this nearly forgotten but heartless crime." -- <strong>Victor
