Murdered Tommy Holmes?
Having become an avid true-crime buff at an early age, I had spent nearly two decades chasing cases and tracking trials through newspapers and nonfiction novels. Then crime
truly hit home. In January of 2003, my own brother, Thomas Holmes, was shot and killed
in a bizarre, back alley assassination. [Blog Updates]

"Poetic justice" is a term invented by the critic Thomas
Rymer in the late 17th century to describe the proper moral resolution
that he believed drama or narrative should have. That is, unlike the often
random justice in real life, literary plots should end with the reward of
the good and the punishment of the evil.
