When police found the body of 29-year-old Sherri Rae Rasmussen beaten, bludgeoned, and shot to death in her Los Angeles condo, at first they thought it was a burglary gone bad. But the evidence told a different story—one that came to light more than twenty years later. In March 2012, LA police officer Stephanie Lazarus—the former girlfriend of Rasmussen's new husband—was accused of her murder in a trial that attracted nationwide attention.

This headline-grabbing story of consuming jealousy, cover-ups, intrigue and passion unfolds with thrilling pace and page-turning urgency in the hands of master crime writer Paul Alexander. A journalist and author of the best-selling true crime titles Homicidal and Accused, Alexander combines the keen-eyed attention to detail of a crime reporter with the tight, ruthless prose of a literary master.
