About the Author
THOMAS H. COOK held several jobs as teacher and book reviewer before he began writing full-time. Many of his novels have been nominated for the Edgar and other prestigious awards. He won the Edgar for The Chatham School Affair.
From Library Journal
Novelist Cook ( Streets of Fire , LJ 8/89, Sacrificial Ground, LJ 3/1/88) narrates the true-crime account of convicted killer Judith Neeley's exploits in the Alabama countryside, which included shooting and pushing 13-year-old Lisa Millican over a cliff after injecting her six times with Liquid Drano. Readers expecting both the keen sensitivity and the amazing detail with which Truman Capote imbued his In Cold Blood (to which the publisher compares Cook's account) will find this sadly lacking. However, this popular treatment of a sensational topic will have its own supporters among public library readers. Recommended where interest warrants.

EARLY GRAVES The Shocking True-Crime Story of the Youngest Woman Ever Sentenced to Death Row
Seller: Loretta Lay Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
No binding. Condition: Very Good. First edition. Paperback. On September 29, 1982, Lisa Ann Millican's tortured body was found at the bottom of Little River Canyon, Alabama. Nearly 3-weeks later, 22yr old Janice Kay Chatman's badly decomposed body was discovered a few miles away in Gordon County, Georgia. The desperate hunt for those responsible for the grisly murders led police to 18yr old Judith Ann Neelley and her husband Alvin. It did not take long for investigators to make their most suprising discovery: the impetus behind the killing spree came not from sinister, smiling, oversized Alvin Neelley, but from his pregnant teenaged wife, Judy, who far exceeded her husband in her cruelty and thirst for deadly control. Charged with kidnapping and murder, Judith Neelley would achieve a distinction grimly unique in the annals of American justice - at the age of 18, she would become the youngest woman ever sentenced to Death Row. Here is the bizarre and terrifying tale of a truly shocking case that tore apart a Southern community and made unprecedented legal history. A vivid and disturbing account of how two social misfits joined together in a hellish marriage of rage and violence. Illus. 336pp. mass market p/back. V. lightly browned pp., minimal creasing to covers. Vg+. Seller Inventory # 17910
