He Called It A Tragic Accident.
On a May evening in 1998, the idyllic marriage of wealthy Lake Tahoe couple Peter and Rinette Bergna ended in a crush of metal as their truck plunged 800 feet down a Sierra-Nevada mountainside. Peter was thrown from the vehicle and lived. Rinette, strapped in her seat, died on impact. In time, the grieving widower would meet a new woman, and put the tragic past behind him. Two-and-a-half years later, his life took another fateful turn...
Authorities Called It A Crime.
Bergna, esteemed art appraiser and son of one of California's most prominent attorneys, was indicted for the murder of his wife. Was Rinette's death really an accident-or deliberate homicide to free a controlling killer from a financially and emotionally trying marriage? The contradictory twists and turns of the case resulted in a hung jury. But it was the second trial that would yield even more surprises as a divided community waited for the final stunning verdict.
Bestselling true crime author Michael Fleeman makes his WildBlue Press debut with BETTER OFF DEAD, about a shocking murder that exposes a quiet California community's dirty secrets. His books include THE BLACK WIDOWER and CRAZY FOR YOU, the New York Times bestseller THE STRANGER IN MY BED, and LACI, the first book about the Laci Peterson case. A former journalist for the Associated Press, where he covered the O.J. Simpson trial, and PEOPLE magazine, where he was west coast editor for People.com, Fleeman now dedicates himself to writing and teaching college journalism. He's also a frequent TV commentator for such shows as DATELINE, FORENSIC FILES, SNAPPED, TABLOID, the new Escape Network show DEEP UNDERCOVER, and recently made his Netflix premiere in KARDASHIAN: THE MAN WHO SAVED O.J. A native of Southern California, Fleeman lives in Los Angeles with wife Barbara and their two cats.
