A MURDERED BRIDE, FOUR CONFESSIONS, AND A JAILED COP.

In Justice Plays Roulette, a young journalist investigates Ford’s life and career. Surprised at what he uncovers, the reporter describes the gripping twists and turns that no one saw coming—not even Ford. Several factors created the perfect storm during Ford's tenure as a top homicide detective of his time. A key thread was the so-called Case of the Norfolk Four, the rape and murder of a beautiful 19-year-old wife of a Navy man while her husband was at sea.

REVIEW -- A main character in the book says: “Finished the book yesterday. Part of me wishes I had never read JUSTICE PLAYS ROULETTE; it brings back painful memories of the day when I woke up to the reality of the “bastardized justice system.” The other part of me was glad to be reminded that the justice system is made up of individuals, some great, others not so much. On the not so great side are self-serving attorneys, power seeking prosecutors, unethical law enforcement officers, and some bad apples in the FBI. But there are also many who are loyal to the ideals of the justice system. Too bad they often seem not to be supported. But in any case, A RIP-ROARING GOOD READ.”
