Unbelievable takes you on a gripping journey through a haunting real-life investigation that reveals the complexities of sexual assault reporting. Based on the acclaimed NETFLIX series, this powerful narrative is crafted by two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists who meticulously uncover the truth behind Marie's harrowing story. An eighteen-year-old girl, Marie reported her brutal rape only to find herself branded a liar by detectives and put under intense scrutiny.
The chilling events began on 11 August 2008 when Marie alleged that a masked intruder had violated her home. However, as police investigated, doubts emerged from both law enforcement and her personal circle, leading Marie to retract her statement under duress. This shocking turn of events catapulted her into a nightmare, showcasing the systemic issues that frequently undermine victims of sexual violence.
Two years later, Colorado detective Stacy Galbraith discovered a case that resonated deeply with Marie’s experience. Collaborating with fellow detective Edna Hendershot, they uncovered chilling evidence pointing to a serial rapist whose unsolved crimes stretched across multiple jurisdictions. The intertwining of these cases paints a poignant picture of the struggle for justice, highlighting the critical importance of believing survivors.
Unbelievable is not just a narrative; it's an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the challenges of sexual violence and the quest for truth. This compelling book, shortlisted for the Gold Dagger Award, invites readers to dissect the layers of societal disbelief and the resilience of those who fight for justice.
