Description
From the best selling author of A Death in Canaan, a stunning reconstruction of one of the strangest killings ever recorded.
On a lonely ranch outside Beverly Hills, Hope Masters woke one night with a gun in her mouth. Her fiancé had been shot and the murderer proceeded to rape her... but by morning he was behaving more like a lover than a killer and Hope was under his spell.
The story of this unprecedented relationship between a mesmeric murderer and his victim only came to light after Hope had gone to jail on a charge of first-degree murder.
'This is an extraordinary book...a wonderfully readable account of a bizarre tale'-New Society
'Her organization of a daunting amount of material is masterly, and the picture of a psychopath which emerges must be the envy of many a novelist'- Oxford Times
