      Dear Reader,

      We proudly present the newest addition to our internationally acclaimed true crime series of Real People/Incredible Stories. These riveting thrillers spotlight men and women who perform extraordinary deeds against tremendous odds: to fight for justice, track down elusive killers, protect the innocent or exonerate the wrongly accused. Their stories, told in their own voices, reveal the untold drama and anguish behind the headlines of those who face horrific realties and find the resiliency to fight back…

      In Murder in Mayberry: Greed, Death and Mayhem in a Small Town, federal agent Jack Branson has never worked a murder investigation – until his multimillionaire aunt is found bludgeoned to death in a small Kentucky town where everyone knows everyone. With no witnesses, no DNA and few clues, the list of suspects continues to grow. Will Jack find out the identity of the killer before this shocking crime turns into a cold case?

      The next time you want to read a crackling, suspenseful page-turner, which is also a true account of a real-life hero illustrating the resiliency of the human spirit – look for the New Horizon Press logo.

      Sincerely,

      Dr. Joan S. Dunphy
