Blurb: (from back cover) "Former Marine sergeant and judo instructor Roland Pitre, Jr. claimed it was all an elaborate plan to win back his wife's love-it wasn't supposed to end with her dead body in the trunk of a car. Nearly twenty years later, he acknowledged that he had hired someone to kill his estranged wife in 1988, though his alleged excuse for why a monstrous 'mistake' happened is as socking and convoluted as the crime itself. Eventually, he was charged with first-degree murder in the long-unsolved deah of Cheryl Pitre, after a mysterious witness betrayed Pitre to save his own skin. Tracing back the dark and bloody path of Pitre's life, two generations of detectives found a chain of brutal and terrifying crimes by a man who manipulated the courts and prisons to walk free."
Opinion: Ann Rule has never disappointed me and hasn't done it with this volume of her crime files. I had the pleasure of reading this during jury duty so I was entertained during my long wait. Like with Rule's other crime files, this book also contains some other solved crimes. Definitely worth picking up.
