Reviews

A true crime book for the ages. This heart-rending tragedy and twists-and-turns murder trial is enthralling. The addition of flawless storytelling by Ivor Davis and Sally Ogle Davis, plus the authors gradual realization that their close friend, might actually be a cold-blooded killer—is a riveting read. -- Jeff Guinn, New York Times bestselling author of Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson and The Last Gunfight: The Real Story of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral—And How It Changed the American West Never believe anyone who says they can tell if a person is lying. The authors learned this the hard and emotionally brutal way. Was their friend innocent? Their investigation uncovered a dark and compelling tale of determined evil. -- Mark Bowden, author of bestseller Black Hawk Down and The Last Stone; journalist
