Synopsis: #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 Rule&’s 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 &“country&’s premier true crime author&” (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. There&’s also the true story of a modest preacher&’s wife confessing to shooting her husband after an argument but there&’s more to her shattering story than meets the eye. These and other true crime tales are analyzed with Ann Rule&’s &“extraordinary&” (The New York Times) compassion and objectivity in this collection.
