Stephanie lazarus12/18/2022 A superb writer and an investigative journalist, McGough has the literary skills within his arsenal to write competently about a high-profile complex murder mystery. The story has all the makings of a lifetime mini-series or a Netflix true crime drama. Yet, what is so unusual about the Lazarus Files, is how a brutish female police officer murdered her romantic competition and continued to serve the community apparently without fear of apprehension. People magazine reports that McGough’s book is nonetheless “as engrossing as it is disturbing, using an understated style to take the reader through the complex and sensational case with great clarity.”Īs a 35-year veteran of true crime reporting and writing book reviews about real-life crime dramas, I recommend this book because it is among very few that delves deep into how some large police departments protect fellow officers. McGough’s book goes behind the scenes of a shocking murder that went unsolved for decades. Lazarus was suspected in the murder of a newlywed nurse named Sherri Rasmussen. In a packed true crime book titled The Lazarus Files A Cold Case Investigation written by Matthew McGough, author of Bat Boy Coming of Age With New York Yankees, McGough’s investigation strongly suggests the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) engaged in a systematic cover-up to protect an officer, subsequently identified as Stephanie Lazarus. Would a police department protect a fellow cop later proven to be a cold-blooded murderer hiding behind a badge? Sounds incredulous, doesn’t it? Well get ready for a spine-chilling story, filled with lust, steamy sex, a diary filled with dreams, broken hearts, a missing gun, police protection, careers destroyed, and a young ambitious life snuffed out too soon.
