Practice to deceive

Description:

In her first book-length investigative chronicle since In the Still of the Night, Ann Rule unravels a shattering case of Christmastime murder off the coast of Washington State with the clarity, authority, and emotional depth that her readers expect. It's a case with enough drama, greed, sex, and scandal to be called "The Real Housewives of Whidbey Island." But this was not reality television. This was murder: pure, cruel, ugly, and senseless. And someone had to pay the price.
