Winner of the 2012 Independent Publisher Award (Bronze Medal, True Crime)\"One of the biggest cover-up cases I've ever seen, and I've seen it all.\" -Margaret McLean former Boston prosecutor and Bost College ProfessorIn August of 1989, Duncan MacPherson, a Canadian pro hockey player, vanished without a trace in Europe. With no help from the police, his parents, Lynda and Bob, drove all over the Alps looking for him, and finally found his car at the Stubai Glacier, a popular ski resort near Innsbruck, Austria. Thus began their twenty-year struggle to discover why their son had disappeared after snowboarding on a beginner slope. Had he, as the local police suggested, wandered off the beaten track and died in a remote area, or had he (as certain signs indicated) been the victim of something sinister? In the course of their search, the MacPhersons encountered an extraordinary cast of characters, including a 5, 000-year-old ice mummy, an amnesiac initially thought to be Duncan, a renowned psychic with a disturbing vision, a charismatic ski resort developer, and a deceptively friendly forensic doctor. In 2009 they asked author John Leake to help them with their ongoing search for answers, and after a two-year investigation, he discovered the shocking reality of what happened to Duncan. Cold a Long Time: An Alpine Mystery recounts the strange and agonizing odyssey of the MacPherson family. It is a story about tremendous love, perseverance, and the irrepressible desire to know the truth, literally at all costs. It is also the story of a twisted cover-up, committed by the ski resort, the local police, and high-ranking officials in Innsbruck. Leake's findings are the subject of the TV documentary \"A Cold Case,\" produced by the fifth estate-Canada's premier investigative news show. | Cold A Long Time by John Leake, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
