The Fayetteville Observer, N.C., Meredith Jacobs column: Crime story, speaker's visit

Jul 13, 2008 (The Fayetteville Observer - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- BKS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Amanda Lamb tells the behind-the-scenes story of a Raleigh arsenic-murder case in "Deadly Dose: The Untold Story of a Homicide Investigator's Crusade for Truth and Justice."

Lamb will discuss her true-crime book in Fayetteville at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Barnes & Noble Booksellers.

The poisoning victim was Eric Miller, a medical researcher, husband and new father. He fell ill after drinking beer with his wife's co-workers during a bowling outing in November 2000 and was dead by December.

Lamb covered the story as a reporter for WRAL, and she writes about the twists and turns of the case. A few of those facts:

Derrill H. Willard Jr., a co-worker of Miller's wife (and with whom she was having an affair), committed suicide.

A legal wrangle to decide whether attorney-client privilege ended after death -- and whether Willard's lawyer could be ordered to testify about what was said to him in confidence -- went on for two years. The question went to the state Supreme Court.

In 2003, Ann Miller, the victim's wife and a pharmaceutical company employee, married a Christian musician and moved to Wilmington.

Lamb goes beyond the case's news coverage to describe the personalities of homicide investigator Chris Morgan, the Millers and others who were involved in the case, which ended in 2005.

More information about Lamb's book can be found on her Web site at alambauthor.com.

Busch to speak at library

Award-winning short-story writer Lonnie Busch, who will speak at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Headquarters Library, can be described as a "Renaissance man."

In addition to his short stories, Busch is a novelist, painter and illustrator. He creates artwork for corporations and institutions and has designed two stamps for the U.S. Postal Service: the 2002 "Greetings From America" stamps and the 2004 "Summer Olympics" stamp.

Busch's third novel is "Turnback Creek," which is about a retired heavy-equipment operator who has lost his wife, is estranged from his daughter and is caring for his ailing sister. The character looks to a future while dealing with his past.

Busch's visit is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
