Cape May Court House by Lawrence Schiller ( 364.1523 THO) is a fascinating true story with twists and turns. The year was 1997. In Cape May Court House, New Jersey, Eric Thomas, a popular young doctor, and his wife, Tracy, were involved in an automobile accident. Tracy, who was pregnant, was driving and did not survive the crash. Her husband was fortunate to have the help of Tracy's parents to help raise Eric and Tracy's daughter, Alix.
Dr. Thomas filed a lawsuit against the Ford Company claiming that the airbag killed his wife. He claimed that the bag inflated improperly, causing his wife to suffocate.
Ford countered with their own attack on Eric, claiming that the airbag was not the cause of death. The real cause of death was strangulation - in fact, that Eric killed his wife.
This legal thriller reads like a piece of mystery fiction. But it's not; it's the true court case between a young doctor and a huge corporation.
