Opis

A professional killer wants to write a tell all book about his many exploits and misdeeds. But he's not a writer. So he brutally enlists the help of two old friends. Both are former high school teammates on a two time championship baseball team. One is a superior male athlete who was drafted at graduation by a professional baseball team. The other is a female former girlfriend who received a full college athletic scholarship. The story their friend intends to tell will surely rankle the nerves and addle the psyches of any prospective readers. Teeter Barnes tells his story in such great detail that the very words can hardly be recorded. It is a tale so horrifying that the two friends know instinctively that they cannot be involved in its telling. They also learn that they are the intended last victims in this gory tale of murder and mayhem. So they concoct an escape plan that leads to even more trouble. There is danger and peril at every turn in this compelling and unusual story. Four characters give their unique perspectives on the events created and orchestrated by one of the most deranged killers in the history of American crime. The killer recalls his cold blooded and callous murders with neither remorse nor compunction over his deeds. But ultimately, the two friends prevail. They decide to replace his horrible tale with their own first person accounts of what it was like to be in the presence of such evil. Their stories are inspiring, uplifting, and controversial in their own right. But their intent is to paint a clearer picture of the ugliness of murder, terror and the perpetrators thereof. They share with us some experiences that will remain with them forever as their love, trust, and devotion to each other are all tested to their limits. Through it all, love emerges, friendships are formed, and justice prevails. This is a story about a story that was never written. The writers saw no need to revisit the carnage left behind by their old friend and colleague. Instead, a beautiful story of caring, perseverance and valor emerges. Sit back and enjoy this suspenseful and satisfying novel as the plot twists, winds, turns, and ends with a controversial conclusion that you and your friends will debate for hours on end.
