A Texas True Crime Investigation of Henry Kyle, High-Society Wealth, and Parricide

In July 1983, wealthy Texas oil and real estate tycoon Henry Kyle Sr. was shot to death inside his Dallas mansion. The investigation quickly focused on his son, Ricky Kyle, who claimed the shooting occurred during a violent late-night confrontation, while prosecutors alleged a motive centered on securing his father's multi-million-dollar estate and secret wills.

Author Suzanne Finstad explores the high-society trial, detailing the complex financial structures, corporate holdings, and family rivalries that surfaced during testimony. The narrative reconstructs the crime scene forensics, ballistic evidence, and legal maneuvers that defined the high-stakes courtroom battle.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Suzanne Finstad crafts a compelling narrative of Texas wealth, family greed, and courtroom drama. Rich in financial forensics and legal testimony, this true crime investigation is ideal for fans of Dominick Dunne, Jerry Bledsoe, and Jim Schutze.
