From the Author:

"The female murderer, from a literary standpoint, has always interested me," says M. William Phelps. "She is a rare breed. Beth Ann Carpenter—young, beautiful, professional—presented me with several intriguing and complicated issues to deal with: She was a woman who, from the outside, one would never suspect of being involved in such a heinous crime. She had everything going for her. Underneath the fa�ade, however, I found a sullen, yet sobering portrait of a manipulative woman who lied to everyone around her . . . a woman who used her charm and obvious sexual appeal to convince men to do whatever she wanted. . . . I wrote this book like an episode of CBS’s "CSI" with this dynamic in mind. I wanted readers to walk with law enforcement on their six-year journey and find the truth through the evidence—just as I did."
