About this title

From the Publisher:

This case was profiled on Inside Edition, The Today Show, The Early Show, Good Morning America, along with every other major media outlet. The New York Post, USA Today, and over 4,000 additional news stories were generated. M. William Phelps gained exclusive access to Lisa Montgomery's family, friends, neighbors, and key law enforcement to tell the true story of what really happened. Phelps was able to score exclusive photos of the baby on the night she was kidnapped, the nursery Lisa Montgomery prepared for the child, along with documents, letters and other important items used in this riveting account of murder in the Midwest. With the book being optioned for a feature film already, it is sure to be a major bestseller.

From the Author:

"Researching and writing Murder in the Heartland put my investigative skills to the test. Yet I was compelled by the notion that such a brutal crime could take place in such a remote, rural region of the Midwest, and how to tell that story in a compassionate way, detailing how and why it happened. Truly, this story is the archetype of the American dream crushed by tragedy. ... A good nonfiction crime book should not only make news, but break news. Murder in the Heartland will do both. The exclusive material I am bringing to the page will have people talking candidly about this case long before it goes to trial in October 2006."
