#1 New York Times bestselling author and true crime icon Ann Rule explores several crimes filled with mysterious twists and turns in this unputdownable entry in the Ann Ruleâs Crime Files series.
Some murder cases reveal the answers quickly and with relative ease. But sometimes, the case is an intractable puzzle, filled with smoke and mirrors. The âcountryâs premier true crime authorâ (Library Journal) reveals several such cat-and-mouse cases here.
First, the ideal family is targeted for death by the least likely enemy. In another case, a sexual predator hides behind multiple fake identities, eluding police for years while his past victims live in fear that he will hunt them down. Thereâs also the true story of a modest preacherâs wife confessing to shooting her husband after an argument but thereâs more to her shattering story than meets the eye. These and other true crime tales are analyzed with Ann Ruleâs âextraordinaryâ (The New York Times) compassion and objectivity in this collection.
