Cross-Border Murder

Late one morning in 1995 Thomas Webster, a semi-retired journalist, received an unexpected visitor.

Sixteen years earlier, Frank Montini, an American university professor of history, had been accused of murdering another professor at a university in Montreal. The charges were inexplicably dropped, but belief in his guilt lingered and ruined his life and that of his family. Assumptions about his guilt followed him when his family returned to the United States.
