Twenty-six-year-old actor Daniel Wozniak was unemployed, facing eviction, and deep in debt for his upcoming wedding. So he devised a diabolical plan: He asked his neighbor Sam Herr, a young war veteran, to help him move some things into the attic of an empty theater. There, Wozniak shot Herr twice in the head before taking his ATM card and cell phone. Hours later, Wozniak performed on stage with his fianc├®e in a local production of the musical Nine, convinced that he had gotten away with murder . . .
Wozniak dismembered his victim's body and hid the pieces. Then he lured Herr's college friend Juri "Julie" Kibuishi to Herr's apartment and shot her twice in the head. The police immediately declared Herr a prime suspect—just as Wozniak had planned. But when Herr was declared missing, and his ATM withdrawals led authorities to Wozniak at his bachelor party, the actor was forced to play the role of a lifetime in a shocking murder investigation that would be his greatest—and final—performance . . .

"I'm pretty sure I watched a Forensic File or Dateline Show about this story. This account of a double murder, while gory, is well-written. Dan is a crazy person and probably deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life. As I always like to do, I did a Google search of the three main characters so I can put a face with the names. This is a sad, sad story of two lives that were taken way too soon, all for a little bit of money. If you like true crime novels, you'll like this one. "
