NOT ABOVE THE LAW. The Tragic Story of JoAnn Wilson and Colin Thatcher

Paperback. It was a storybook marriage. When lovely JoAnn Geiger married handsome, charming Colin Thatcher, they seemed the classic "beautiful couple". They had everything - attractive children, wealth, political and social prominence. They led a charmed life - or so everyone thought. Then, on the Thatcher's 17th wedding anniversary, JoAnn fled from a husband she had learned to fear. When she did so she set her feet on a rocky road, paved with scandal, betrayal, heartbreak, insult, violence, and finally, death. With the brutal, tragic murder of JoAnn by an unknown assailant, the full glare of publicity turned on Colin Thatcher. Suddenly, the man who had defied his way through the courts of the land in wrangles over property and custody was caught up in the horror of his own trial - accused of the first-degree murder of his former wife. Here, for the first time, is the full, compelling, shocking story of JoAnne, the innocent helpless victim, and Colin, the stormy protagonist, in the most headline-grabbing Canadian murder 'trial of the century.'
