NEW BOOK: THE COIN DEALER KILLER

Bob Leonard sent a link to this new History Press book about the murders of two California coin dealers, Murder in Visalia: The Coin Dealer Killer. Thanks. -Editor

One October morning in 1979, a stamp and coin dealer was gunned down in his Visalia shop. There were no witnesses. Persistent police efforts across jurisdictional lines connected it to another death. Two months earlier, the body of a Fresno coin dealer was found locked in the trunk of his car. The trail of evidence led to a most unlikely suspect. Author Ronn M. Couillard, retired judge and former Visalia district attorney, lays out the facts in this compelling case from the investigation to the court proceedings and the surprise that almost derailed the conviction.

Bob adds:

It is more of a crime story than numismatic.

Is anyone familiar with this case? -Editor
