PopSugar Best True Crime Book of 2020
"The twists and turns read
like a page-turning thriller, but Losing Jon is all fact. This is true crime at
the highest of levels. Scary, heartbreaking and completely insightful."
--Brad
Meltzer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Escape Artist
David Parrish was in disbelief
when he learned that nineteen-year-old Jon Bowie's body had been found hanged
from a backstop at the local high school's baseball field and the death
declared a suicide. David had known Jon and his twin brother since they were boys.
He had coached them on the baseball field and welcomed them into his home for
sleepovers with his own sons. However, when David learned how Jon's body was
found, he felt compelled to find the facts behind this incomprehensible
tragedy.
Soon, David would learn of a
brutal incident at a local motel where Jon and his brother had been severely
beaten by police officers, the charges filed against those officers, and the
months of harassment and intimidation Jon and his brother endured. Few in the
utopian community of Columbia, Maryland, believed Jon could commit such a final
act. Like many others, David wondered how a fateful night of teens blowing off
steam could lead to such a tragic end. As law enforcement failed to find
answers and seemed intent on preventing the truth from surfacing, David
uncovered a system of cover-ups that could only lead to one conclusion--Jon's
death was an act of murder.
"A
true page turner, filled with almost-too-unbelievable-to-be-true details of one
community's fight to find justice for one of its own . . . the issues raised,
particularly when it comes to questions of police brutality and cover-ups, are
very much relevant today."
--New
York Times bestselling author Lisa Pulitzer
