Alternate Endings is a true-crime series built on one question: What if one moment had gone differently? In place of the real, worst outcome, a single shift tips the scales—when someone notices in time, courage shows up at the right moment, or the universe (somehow) intervenes. This book is for anyone hoping for alternate endings in our world.
Wiley James is the author of Alternate Endings and The Unsolved Case Files of Eli Mercer—two series that blur the line between truth and imagination, giving readers fresh ways to engage with crime, justice, and mystery.
In Alternate Endings, he reimagines real true crime cases at the decisive instant when history could have gone differently—moments where victims rise, fates shift, or justice finds its way. Each reimagined outcome is paired with the factual record, leaving readers with the haunting question: what if, in some parallel world, the alternate version was true?
