About this ebook

A bizarre love triangle leads to a brutal murder in Florida in this true-crime story by the New York Times bestselling author of One Breath Away.

The missing-persons case of Heather Strong, a young, beautiful suburban mother, baffled Florida detectives. When the file was handed to a veteran investigator, he knew Heather was dead. The challenge was to find her body—and whoever killed her. Soon, a sordid triangle of sex, jealousy, and rage came to light. The killers were cunning, manipulative, depraved—and they were as close to Heather as a man and a woman could possibly be. Vividly recreated by master investigative journalist M. William Phelps, this riveting account of seething small-town passions is a classic tale of crime and justice.

Ratings and reviews

Good read to bad they both weren't executed but will sit in prison and collect tax payer money as all will all the children they left behind.

Once again Phelps has shown why he is such a successful writer of true crime. A very sad story of how one person returned to a violent relationship once too often and became an innocent victim of her lover/husband and his girlfriend. The evil nature of the girlfriend Emilia is also hard to understand probably because society as a whole finds it hard to see how females can sometimes move away from the loving and nurturing side we expect to see from them. Highly recommend this book to any fan of true crime stories - Phelps is up there with the best true crime authors today.

Excellent book & Author as well.
