"The Ghost" by Maureen Boyle
242 pages; Published by Black Lyon Publishing , ©2021 Saxonbourg, Pennsylvania Police Chief Greg Adams stopped a vehicle on the cold afternoon of December 4, 1980. It would be the last stop of his life. Adams was gunned down by Donald Webb, a low-level mobster who spent the next 36 1/2 years in hiding after the murder. After Adams is shot, a tense ambulance ride to the hospital follows, but it is too late as the police chief is declared dead. A manhunt follows as the Saxonbourg Police Department tries to close in on the killer. Webb is able to escape their efforts, and it won't be the last time he proves to be elusive. What happened during the next three-plus decades after Chief Adams' murder was an international manhunt that comprised of the Saxonbourg Police Department, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts State Police Departments, and the F.B.I. Maureen Boyle's "The Ghost" traces the work of different people from the Northeast who passed the baton and paperwork
