The true story of a teenage killer and the silence of a small New England town.

What was revealed was a crime born of adolescent passion between Eric and Daniel's stepdaughter, Melanie- redefining the meaning of loyalty, justice, and revenge.

Review

"Those interested in finding out the details of the story will find the book a compelling tale and an in-depth look at this complicated subject." --Hooksett Banner

"The team brings alive the anxiety, fear and loathing that surrounded the case...The book reads like a real whodunit, especially for those readers who know nothing of the case." --New Hampshire Magazine

"The result is a suspenseful read even if you already know the story. The authors have developed names and facts in police reports into characters and plots." --Concord Monitor
