Ten Minutes till Midnight

About the Book

It was called Denver’s Crime of the Century. In 1988, Frank Magnuson, a young man struggling with life’s curve balls, was set to testify against a Crip kingpin who along with three other men perpetrated a robbery of a Denver restaurant. The night before the trial, two dispatched killers lay in wait in the basement of a house in Bonnie Brae owned by Frank’s friend and roommate, Steve Curtis. At just before midnight in June of 1989, two young men lay dead with a third left for dead.

Ten Minutes till Midnight takes the reader into the very depths of Hell as two of these innocent men experience twenty insane moments of pure horror.

Five years after the heinous crime would justice be served? Prosecutors Al LaCabe and Mike Little, doing battle with a polished public defender and his eccentric, wily partner, would be at their passionate best to see that it was. The true story of faith, miracles and recovery, Ten Minutes till Midnight will not only leave the reader’s adrenaline pulsating, but pondering the very credibility and prudence of the justice system.
