<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">When I began this read, I was a tad apprehensive, as I am not a non-fiction kind of guy. The foreward did not help the situation as it was a one-sided anecdote by the author that didn't grab me, but the opening chapter did. I am heavily into mystery/thrillers, particularly crime and legal fiction, and as such, the first chapter trapped me in. I was actually horrified at the crime committed by the two imbeciles, but when the other daughter was brought into the mix, I was gagging. And just when I am digesting how sick these two bastards are (for entertainment purposes), I am fearful for the woman that befriended the men and ultimately discovered that the man that she had in her home was responsible for the crime sending shock waves through all of the media. Now, I must commend the editorial job on this number, as the first-person narration of the events that lead to the cretins being caught and the events that lead the tipsters to Protective Custody was poignant, blunt and very engaging. I am a legal researcher/writer and nothing impresses me more than someone that doesn't find that policeman are God-like. Yes, there are very noble officers, but an abundant number of them are corrupt and/or liars and some do not set out to be that way, but the lure of the money associated with over time and their weakness to fall in line with their colleagues forces them to act and behave like policeman, and the narrator of this tale VERY thoroughly sets the stage to change the mind of anyone about policeman. <br /><br />This is a 97-page book that took a few hours to read and I wanted to read more. I looked up the cases on the Internet. I wish the author could have sat through the trial and given me a John Grisham-esque courtroom drama. Excellent read, and sure to teach a lesson, or two!</span>
