Blizzard of Lies: Karen Read, John O’Keefe, and the Shocking Unsolved Murder in Cop Town, USA by Dave Wedge — the definitive true-crime account of one of the most controversial cases in recent American history.
In January 2022, Boston police officer John O’Keefe was found dead in the snow outside a fellow officer’s home. What first appeared to be a simple hit-and-run quickly exploded into a national scandal involving allegations of a cover-up, a mistrial, polarizing public protests, and intense media scrutiny.
Investigative journalist and bestselling author Dave Wedge spent years examining every angle of the case. Drawing on trial transcripts, exclusive interviews with people on both sides — including law enforcement, Karen Read and her legal team, and the O’Keefe family — he delivers a detailed, immersive narrative that cuts through the myths and misinformation.
Blizzard of Lies explores the turbulent relationship between Read and O’Keefe, the evidence that shaped the courtroom battles, and the broader questions the case raised about policing, justice, and institutional trust in a tight-knit Massachusetts community. It is a propulsive, clear-eyed account of a tragedy that refused to be forgotten and the lasting emotional toll on everyone involved.
Essential reading for true-crime fans and anyone who followed the Karen Read trials.
