An almost pefect crime....almost
As the Coroner Investigator in this case, I found the work of Mr. Chen pretty thorough with a few minor exceptions. It points out the flaws in a system where entities that have specific mutual interest in a particular case don't always communicate well and don't listen to their "gut" feelings about a case. The book underplays the role of the California Department of Insurance Fraud Bureau and the hard work of the Assistant District Attorney, Al MacKenzie. It shows how vulnerable an overburdened system is to abuse and fraud. But for the checks and balances of the public and private sector, this crime would not only have been unsolved, but would never have been discovered in the first place. By the way, since the book was written, all three suspects in the murder for insurance money have been captured, tried and convicted. Two of them received life without parole, while the third received 25 to life. All are currently serving their sentences in prison.
