The Wake

Dead men tell no tales or do they? In New York City, a body has been found floating in the frozen Hudson River. Devoid of any identification, the medical examiner has
determined by autopsy that in all probability, a crime has been committed that took place more than fifty years ago.


The body, that of a male is missing a left ear
and the inside pocket of a pea coat contains
black and white photographs along with a
pack of 1952 Topps baseball cards. A classic
textbook cold case, is this fact based on fiction or fiction based on fact?
