Cavalier - Editorial Review: Self Publishing Review

An impactful combination of personal reflection and true crime research, Connie Nelson’s Cavalier: The Story of an Unsolved Murder in a Small Town empathetically chronicles the unsolved murder of Dr. Jack Wahl in the rural town of Cavalier, North Dakota in 1986. Investigative oversights, technological shortcomings, and media assumptions hinder the case, while rumors and speculation about Wahl’s potential secret life swirl among locals...Nelson, a close friend of the victim, gracefully examines the process of grief and the impact of a killing on those left behind, especially in a tight-knit community, resulting in an intimate and oftentimes startling portrait of America's flawed justice system, and how it affects everyday people.
