Similar Transactions is a gripping story about the author’s determination to solve a cold case murder and to bring a perpetrator to justice.”
S. R. Reynolds has never forgotten the mishandled case of fifteen-year-old Michelle Anderson, a vibrant beauty who went missing from Reynolds' Knoxville, Tennessee, neighborhood years earlier.
Aided by her old professor, famed forensic anthropologist Dr. William Bass--founder of the University of Tennessee's "Body Farm"--Reynolds picks up the trail of this long-cold case.
As she presses neglected pieces of the puzzle into place, Reynolds unearths a string of heinous kidnappings and rapes across the South, crimes that span decades. She meets with victims and former investigators who worked on the case. A picture begins to form. Patterns appear. And all evidence points to one man: convicted sex offender Larry Lee Smith.
As a result of Reynolds' efforts, the Knoxville Police Department reopens the cold case of Michelle's disappearance, but Larry Lee is about to be released from a Georgia prison, where he served time for a related crime--a "similar transaction."
What transpires in this story is amazing on many levels. Reynolds writes a gripping and fascinating true story, including how victims, former police and FBI investigators, and a savvy prosecutor came together on a mission to get justice for Michelle.
"Similar Transactions" is the recipient of the 2017 eLit Gold Award for True Crime, and is among the top five books named "The Best of Everything Nonfiction 2016" by author, critic, and screenwriter Emilio Corsetti III.
