Smoke, Mirrors, and Murder: And Other True Cases (Volume 12) (Ann Rule's Crime Files)

by Ann Rule (Author)

Synopsis

An ideal family is targeted for death by the least likely enemy, who plotted their demise from behind bars.... 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.... A modest preacher's wife confesses to shooting her husband after an argument -- but there's more to her shattering story than meets the eye. These and other true cases are analyzed with stunning clarity in a page-turning collection you won't be able to put down.

Included in this volume are stories of a victim burned beyond recognition - spontaneous human combustion? - impossible - and yet no one else seemed to enter or exit; a man who was a woman who was a man, whose con games in a small community led to murder; a counterfeit priest who wasn't a priest at all; a lifetime rapist; and the strangest case ever to hit Montana.
