The day before Halloween 2004 was the last day on Earth for respected, well-liked college professor Fred Jablin. That morning, a neighbor discovered his body lying in a pool of blood in the driveway of Jablin's Virginia home. Police immediately turned their attentions to the victim's ex-wife, Piper, a petite, pretty Texas lawyer who had lost a bitter custody battle and would do anything to get her kids back. But Piper was in Houston, 1,000 miles away, at the time of the slaying and couldn't possibly have been the killer...could she?
So began an investigation into one of the most bizarre cases Virginia and Texas law enforcement agencies had ever encountered: a twisted conspiracy of lies, rage, paranoia, manipulation, and savage murder that would ensnare an entire family - including two lethally close look-alike sisters - and reveal the shocking depravities possible when a dangerously disordered mind slips into madness.

"A truely disturbing book about the murder of Dr. Fred Jablin who I had the pleasure of meeting at a conference several years ago. The book is riviting, but mostly a very sad tale about ruined lives." — William (5 out of 5 stars)
"A truely disturbing book about the murder of Dr. Fred Jablin who I had the pleasure of meeting at a conference several years ago. The book is riviting, but mostly a very sad tale about ruined lives."
" Easy reading. The author embellished the emotions. Too over dramatic at times. An interesting psychoanalysis of the murderer. You didn't want to put it down because the identity of the murderer was in doubt till the end. "
" This book is about a mother who would do anything to get her Children back from her ex -husband....even kill. "
" Fascinating and well written. I am now on to another book by this author. "
" I really didn't find this story all that interesting. A narcissist who kills someone to get what she wants is nothing new. Maybe if the writing had been better, it would have been more interesting. "
" I'd read another book by this author. Clear, concise, and without shoving her opinions in your face, this was an interesting read. "
" Bone-chilling, true-crime read, well-told by one of my favorites in this field -- Kathryn Casey. This woman was nuts (not the author). "
" Move over, Ann Rule! Kathryn Casey writes a fantastic true crime journal. I was sorry to see this book end, and intend to read more of her books. "
" a well written book about lives and a marriage falling apart. "
Kathryn Casey s an award-winning, Houston-based journalist, the author of six highly acclaimed true crime books, and the creator of the Sarah Armstrong mystery series. Singularity, the first in the Armstrong series, was included in Booklist’s best crime novel debuts of 2009, and Library Journal chose the third in the series, The Killing Storm, for its list of the best books of 2010. Ann Rule calls Casey, “one of the best in the true crime genre.”
