The crimes were so horrifying that they captured the attention of the national and international press. Known as \"The Christmas Killings,\" this series of events became a worldwide news story in the print media and early days of cable news. This true-life crime drama opens Christmas week 1992 in a Dayton, Ohio, a declining major industrial U.S. city. This was written from the vantage point of the four detectives who investigated the murders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe account is delivered as if by screen narration and is filled with the visual imagery that one would expect in a documentary thanks to the author's access to the investigative case file, a local television station's file footage and more. The transcribed, verbatim police audio transmissions between a uniform sergeant and dispatch sergeant add a truly riveting dimension to the book. The most compelling element of the story is the four detectives' recollection and insight to the crimes and the killers. If only a book could be heard! The Christmas Killings: 40 Hours to Justice, is designed for visual and audio presentation and is the framework for a film production. Moving forward to produce a documentary exactly as presented in the book is the endgame. It has not happened to date. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNevertheless, \u003ci\u003eThe Christmas Killings: 40 Hours to Justice\u003c\/i\u003e has been a source for national network presentations six times (from most recent): 1) Spotify for the podcast series \u003ci\u003e\"Serial Killers\"\u003c\/i\u003e under the title \u003ci\u003e\"The Dayton Christmas Killings\" \u003c\/i\u003e(broadcasted December 21, 2022); 2) TV ONE for a television series \"\u003ci\u003eSins in the City\u003c\/i\u003e\" (aired November 14, 2022); 3) OXY TV \"\u003ci\u003eHomicide for the Holidays\u003c\/i\u003e\" (aired December 18, 2021); 4) the podcast \"\u003ci\u003eCrime Stories with Nancy Grace\u003c\/i\u003e\" (broadcasted December 15, 2020); 5) OXY TV \"\u003ci\u003eKiller Couples\u003c\/i\u003e\" (filmed-not yet aired); and 6) TV ONE \"\u003ci\u003eFor My Man: Bound by Blood\u003c\/i\u003e\" (aired February 11, 2019).
