The shooting of Nancy Howard : a journey back to shore : a true story
(Book)

The Shooting of Nancy Howard: A Journey back to Shore combines love, betrayal, conspiracy, suffering, and survival with a cast of improbable characters: a respected church-going husband and his mistress, a group of colorful criminals in East Texas, and a millionaire businessman. The story opens with Nancy's returning home from a church function on a Saturday night in 2012, and pulling into her garage. As she walks toward the door to her house, she suddenly faces an attacker who demands her purse and then shoots her in the head. Investigation of the shooting first reveals that Nancy's husband has been having a three-year affair. A few days later, detectives uncover connections between her CPA husband and the East Texas gang. The story becomes increasingly bizarre as evidence surfaces of a murder-for-hire conspiracy initiated by Nancy's husband.
