A WEALTHY WIFE.
A successful lawyer, Perry March married the beautiful daughter of one of the most powerful attorneys in Nashville. Through his wife Janet, Perry won a position in his father-in-law's firm and joined the city's social elite. The couple raised two children in a mansion that Janet, a talented artist, designed. They seemed to have the good life and more.
A HUSBAND'S BETRAYAL.
But in 1996, when Janet vanished, police dug into Perry's past, turning up strange stories of sexual obsession, unfaithfulness, and vicious arguments with Janet. When they suspected that one of those fights ended in murder, Perry skipped town with his children.
A FATHER'S VOW FOR JUSTICE.
Janet's father would not let Perry escape so easily. He and his agents pursued the murder suspect to Chicago, and then to Mexico, where Perry opened a new practice and remarried. Still, ten years would pass before the desperate fugitive became trapped in his own web of deceit and betrayal.

The True Story of a Family's Murder, a Kidnapping, and the Child Who Survived....
A KNOWN SEXUAL PSYCHOPATH: Joseph Edward Duncan III had been convicted of raping and torturing a 14-year-old boy in Washington state. On the Internet he proudly boasted of his perversions. But the system turned Duncan loose, and no one would stop him from committing an even more horrifying act...
TWO INNOCENT VICTIMS: This time, he prepared meticulously. He chose his getaway car. He chose his murder weapon and loaded a video camera.

A CRIME THAT SHOOK THE NATION: Detectives poured over the bloody murder scene. The FBI scrambled to find the children and the abductor. And even when Duncan was finally located, the story was not yet over: One of the children was still missing...and the depths of one man's evil was still coming horribly to light.... |

| Angels of Death
The accused: 13-year-old Derek King and his 12-year-old brother, Alex, Sunday school students with choirboy looks.
After midnight on November 26, 2001, someone bludgeoned Terry King to death while he slept, and set his Florida home afire. By the time the firefighters extinguished the blaze, King's sons, Alex and Derek, were at the home of their forty-year-old friend, Ricky Chavis, a convicted child molester. By the next afternoon, following confessions, both boys were charged as adults in their father's slaying. Chavis was tried separately for the same crime—incredibly by the same attorney who would prosecute Alex and Derek, and argue two contradictory theories.
The victim: their own father.
When Alex claimed a sexual relationship with Chavis, the trial took a sensational turn. So did Alex and Derek, who recanted their confession and blamed Chavis, to no avail. A jury convicted the boys of second-degree murder, but the judge threw the verdict out. Chavis was acquitted. But the case wasn't over. More disturbing revelations came to light, criminal motives became more complex, and as the line between guilt and innocence was crossed, a stunned nation watched in disbelief to learn the ultimate fate of the...ANGELS OF DEATH. |

Obsessed with glamour and wealth, she followed her dream to Hollywood, and finally found fame—in death.
Bonny Lee Bakley's dream was to marry a movie star. Using sex and guts, the ruthless small-town blonde finally struck it rich by wedding Robert Blake, the Emmy Award-winning actor who scored in the hit show "Baretta." When Blake found his bride of six months with a bullet in her head outside a Los Angeles restaurant, he was thrust back into the spotlight, and Bonny Lee was exposed for the manipulative woman she was—a grifter with a sordid criminal history of sex swindles, credit-card fraud, and Social Security scams. But her specialty was fleecing wealthy men for quick cash—a lucrative sting that finally brought Bonny Lee Bakley to Hollywood to live—and die—among the rich and famous.
But who really murdered Bonny Lee in cold blood? How did it play into Robert and Bonny's turbulent marriage? Was she a victim of her own con—or something more sinister? What was the truth behind her fears of being stalked? And what secrets were hidden in Bonny's past that she found impossible to outrun? The most talked-about Tinseltown murder in years. |
