<div>The story of a small town football hero whose obsession and steroid rage led to murder is revealed in &ldquo;this fine true-crime tale&rdquo; (Publishers Weekly). A star athlete with a winning smile, Pernell Jefferson had no trouble attracting women. But his charming exterior belied his brutally violent tendencies. After walking away from a football career with the Cleveland Browns, he was addicted to steroids and nearly destitute. That&rsquo;s when he set his sights on Regina Butkowski. Pernell obsessively called and showed up to her home unannounced&mdash;and he battered her when she turned her attention toward other men. When Regina disappeared, the Butkowski family knew who was responsible. But even after police discovered Regina&rsquo;s charred remains in a small Virginia town, they refused to question the man most likely linked to the brutal crime. In Deadly Goals, veteran author Wilt Browning explores the devastating details of Pernell Jefferson&rsquo;s past, the disturbing nature of his crimes, and the Butkowski family&rsquo;s pleas for justice that led to his arrest. Deadly Goals was previously published under the title Where the Wildflowers Grow.</div>
