About
A devoted wife and mother and a Harvard-educated scientist working as a biology professor at the University of Alabama-Huntsville, Amy Bishop seemed to have it all. But, when she was denied tenure, her whole world came crashing down...and she reacted in a way no one ever could have imagined.
On February 13, 2010, Amy was charged with murder for opening fire in a staff meeting the day before, killing three colleagues and injuring others. How could one woman's fury unleash such destruction? While the campus massacre made national headlines, authorities began a thorough investigation and uncovered another chilling episode in Amy's past.
When she was twenty-one, Amy fatally shot her teenage brother, Seth. His death was ruled an accident-and no charges were pressed. But, for many involved in the case, Amy's story didn't add up, and law-enforcement officials suspected it was murder...After the Huntsville rampage, the cold case was reopened and Amy would find herself charged with killing her own brother-murder in the first degree. If Amy had been found guilty twenty-four years earlier, three lives might have been saved.
A Professor's Rage is the chilling true story of an intelligent woman with a secret past ... a past that would burst out in a shocking killing.
