Seeds of Evil

New York Times–Bestselling Author: The true crime story of a California college student accused of murdering his entire family in 1992 to inherit millions.

On Easter Sunday, multimillionaire Dale Ewell, his wife, and twenty-four-year-old daughter were gunned down one by one as they returned home from their beach house. The stone-cold killer waited on a sheet of plastic to avoid leaving clues and calmly retrieved all the bullet casings before leaving the house of blood.

The Ewells’ tony Fresno community was shocked by the grisly murder of the socially prominent family. Only the son, handsome twenty-one-year-old Dana, seemed strangely unaffected except for his outrage at not receiving his slaughtered family’s entire multimillion-dollar fortune immediately.

Although the father Dale Ewell, was a ruthless businessman with a score of enemies, Detective John Souza immediately suspected the spoiled son with the new airplane and the Armani suits. But the brilliant college student sneered at the veteran investigator’s efforts and appeared to have an airtight alibi. But Souza knew that there must be a hole and that when he found it, he would bring a cold-blooded killer to justice.
