NIGHTMARE IN AURORA

A Battle of Truth To Power

by

William Pfirrman

OVERVIEW

(from Goodreads)

Nightmare in Aurora is a fictionalized tale, based on an actual horrific and nearly deadly event and the people, who were involved, whether willingly or by sheer chance, do actually exist. From the main character, Charley and his roommate, Tom, to the lead detectives charged with seeking the truth in this tale of lies and deceit, to the crime scene investigators and the witnesses, they are all actual persons and all played a role in the search for the truth and justice. In every case, I have changed the names of those depicted here. However, the book contains many of the actual police reports written by the different police officers involved in all aspects of the investigation. Reports filed by the lead detectives in the case, by crime scene investigators, uniformed officers that had responded to calls for help from one of their own, as well as from Charley and his roommate Tom, who at first believed to be suspects, were actually victims. Also included are the reports filed by the trigger-happy, newly promoted, deceitful detective responsible for this event in its entirety. Even the statements collected from witnesses to the carnage described are included and told in their own words. However, in an attempt to allow the reader to see and understand the entire story as it unfolded, some of the content had to be dramatized. I have written the book in the first person so the reader will feel as though they are sitting across from Charley, the main character, as he takes you along as he describes his life from his earliest memories. As your reading his story, he tells of the traumas he experienced, the battles he was forced to fight growing up, and how he learned to overcome powers much stronger than his own, right up to the moment he relates the horrors he experienced in May of 1973 and the several months following. This, I believe, will allow the reader to experience with Charley everything he had to endure, during this five month long nightmare, as though they we.......

REVIEW

Mr. Pfirrman writes a fictional tale based on a real horrific event that actually could have ended in death. The events were  taken from police reports. The people who are involved, willingly or by chance, actually exist. The story is written in first person and the character's names have been changed.   He starts the book by telling how they ended up in Aurora.  This starts the e vents  that end up in a night of close encounter with death and spending three days in jail. The character, Charlie was trying to help the local authorities in finding two missing girls. What happens for his efforts?   He ends up  the subject of the investigation. Someone shoots at him twice and he eventually ends up in jail. Everyday the questioning continues and the answers are always the same.  Finally he is found innocent and they let him go, smack dab right into a whole circle of new problems.  He finally had to leave the Air Force and go to Colorado. The entire night would never have happened if the police had filed their reports on time. As you turn the pages the excitement mounts.  You never know what will happen when you turn the page. Charley finds  out of a friend's betrayal and how he has to fight once again for justice and freedom.  How did Charley end up in Jail in the first place?  Was the police department corrupt?  Was Charley actually guilty?  I'd like to tell you more but that would give all the good parts away.  You will definitely want to read this book if you like mystery, suspense, thrillers, who dun it, or you just want a good read.  Grab a copy of NIGHTMARE IN AURORA and follow Charley in his NIGHTMARE IN AURORA.  The book is a page turner and it will put you on the edge of your seat at times.  It will have you in tears one minute and the next you can't help but smile. The saga continues in THE DEADLY GAME OF BETRAYAL.

I would give this book 5 STARS.

I was given a complimentary copy of NIGHTMARE IN AURORA form the author William Pfirrman for my personal view of the book.  I received no other compensation.
