A False Report: A True Story of Rape in America is a searing investigative account that unravels a harrowing true crime story—one that exposes not only a predator, but the deep flaws in the justice system meant to protect victims. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong, this powerful narrative follows the story of a young woman charged with lying about being raped, and the years-long journey to uncover the truth.
Drawing from court records, interviews, and meticulous reporting, the book reveals how two female detectives in a different state began connecting the dots, eventually exposing a serial rapist—and vindicating a young woman who had been silenced, doubted, and betrayed.
Blending the pace of a thriller with the impact of true journalism, A False Report is both a chilling crime story and a damning critique of how our institutions handle sexual assault.
What’s inside:
-
A gripping, real-life investigation into a serial rapist
-
A deep dive into systemic failures in law enforcement
-
A powerful message on believing survivors and seeking justice
