The Dr. Sam Sheppard Murder Case

The death of Marilyn Sheppard in 1954 remains one of the most infamous unsolved murders in the USA. The subsequent arrest of her husband, Dr. Sam Sheppard resulted in what became known as the "Trial of the Century" in 1954 followed by the "Re-Trial of the Century" in 1966.

In 1999 the TV science series NOVA aired a program on the Sheppard case which re-examined the forensic evidence surrounding the case. Nova also produced an excellent supporting website entitled "The Killer's Trail".

A riveting, step-by-step account of the key events in the Sheppard murder case, assembled by Sheppard's son and attorney-journalist Cynthia Cooper.

When William Diehl died in 2006 he was working on SEVEN WAYS TO DIE based on a coroner’s handbook given him by Illinois Medical Examiner Brett Bartlett, then a client of Atchity Entertainment International. At the time, Diehl left behind over 400 manuscript pages of a novel-in-progress, along with detailed notes and treatment, as well as unfinished chapters, for the rest of the book.

“It’s time that Bill’s loyal fans get to read his last, and most exciting, story,” - Kenneth John Atchity

"Seven Ways to Die is a hell of a ride, and Bill Diehl at his very best. Only wish it was longer because I didn’t want it to end!"

— Brett Battles, bestselling author of the Jonathan Quinn thrillers
