<div>The story of a young beauty with an ugly secret she would kill to keep&mdash;&ldquo;a true-crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat&rdquo; (Aphrodite Jones, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author) On November 6, 2000, paramedics answered a call to find twenty-four-year-old Kristin Rossum sobbing, and her husband, Greg de Villers, not breathing. Kristin claimed he had overdosed on drugs after learning she was planning to leave him. But family and friends who knew of Greg&rsquo;s distaste for drugs weren&rsquo;t buying that story&mdash;particularly the idea that he would take his own life. They could not know how right they were. The daughter of a well-to-do California family, Kristin was a brainy blonde whose talent for toxicology had won her a post at the San Diego County Medical Examiner&rsquo;s Office. But her sweet smile masked a much darker side&mdash;she had developed a taste for meth while in high school and started cheating on Greg just after they were married. With each clue discovered, another piece of Kristin&rsquo;s &ldquo;good girl&rdquo; fa&ccedil;ade fell away&mdash;and the world would eventually see the true face of a murderer&mdash;in a gripping account that does &ldquo;a brilliant job of captivating the inner workings of a female killer&rdquo; (Aphrodite Jones).

<div>Reprinted Edition "Page-turning excitement. . .riveting, fast-paced true crime." —M. William Phelps On a chilly November afternoon in 1998, a tearful 36-year-old man walked into the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department in Eureka, CA, and confessed to something horrible. "I hurt some people," he said.

More, even, than the twisted predator inside, which drove him to increasingly perverse sexual appetites.

Her book is a haunting, unforgettable true-life thriller.

Lost Girls

<div>Newly updated, the true story of a retired couple, a coldblooded killer, and the controversial aftermath: &ldquo;A gripping read.&rdquo; &mdash;Aphrodite Jones, host of True Crime for Investigation Discovery Network Tom and Jackie Hawks loved their life in retirement, sailing on their yacht, the Well Deserved. But when the birth of a new grandson called them back to Arizona, they put the boat up for sale. Skylar Deleon and his pregnant wife, Jennifer, showed up as prospective buyers, with their baby in a stroller, and the Hawkses thought they had a deal. Soon after, however, the older couple disappeared&mdash;and the Deleons promptly tried to access the Hawkses&rsquo;s bank accounts. As police investigated, they not found not only a third homicide victim with ties to Skylar, but an unusual motive: Skylar had wanted gender reassignment surgery for years. By killing the Hawkses and plundering their assets, the Deleons planned to clear their $100,000 in debts and still have money for the already-scheduled surgery. Now, in this updated edition, which includes extensive new material, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author Caitlin Rother presents new developments in the case. Skylar, who was sentenced to death row for the three murders, transitioned via hormones while living in the San Quentin psych unit. Recently, she legally changed her name and gender, apparently a strategic step to obtain taxpayer-subsidized gender confirmation surgery and transfer to a women&rsquo;s prison. Combined with Governor Gavin Newsom&rsquo;s moratorium on executions, this only adds insult to injury for the victims&rsquo; families, who want Skylar to receive the ultimate punishment for her crimes. &ldquo;Well researched and a quick, engrossing read, this should be popular with true crime readers, especially the Ann Rule crowd.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal</div>

Jefferson Parker</div>
