Publisher's summary

In the summer of 2003, the Houston suburb of Clear Lake, Texas, was devastated when four young residents were viciously slain. The two female victims, Tiffany Rowell and Rachael Koloroutis, were just 18 years old - popular and beloved. But when a killer came knocking, it turned out to be someone they knew all too well.

Seventeen-year-old Christine Paolilla was an awkward outsider until the girls befriended her. In this gripping true story, M. William Phelps delves into the heart of a baffling mystery to get to the truth of an act so brutal it could not be understood - until now.

Critic reviews

"An unblinking account of how four American teenagers lost their lives in the most violent way, how their families have suffered, and how an unlikely individual was responsible for causing this terrible crime." ( Library Journal)

Great Writer. Great Narration.

Meticulous recounting of a bizarre incident that occurred in Texas. I couldn't put the book down.

It's okay.

Took a while to get to the meat and potatoes. Really sad story. I feel bad for the victims families.

Way too many details

I don’t think we had to hear every gruesome act  of child abuse perpetrated by KC.  However, it makes a good case for forced sterilization people like this woman should never bring children into this world.

Excellent

Very well researched and narrated. I had heard about this case prior to reading this book. It didn't feel like a repeat of the information that I already knew. There were so many other pertinent details included in the book that shed light on the horror and senselessness of this crime. It definitely kept my interest throughout.

Sad story!

Sad story but I didn't think it was particularly well told. It was fine but not my favorite

He writes as well if not better than Gregg Olsen

What a thoughtfully written book about an absolutely heart breaking crime and all the people affected by it. Beautifully narrated.

Great depiction of brutality

I HATE DRUGS! This is a horrible tragedy told in a heartfelt manner. I really like this author and the narrator was perfect. I could actually feel the pain of the family.

Excellent!

An excellent TRUE CRIME book, in every way--well researched, well-written, and with so much heart and understanding--a good balance of dialog and the author's words--plus excellent narration!

Sad sad girl

As usual M. William Phelps’ account of the people he writes about is fair, honest and detailed reporting. He digs into their lives and gives us insight into their upbringing and the situations that placed them in the middle of a crime. He delves into the victims’ lives and the impact of the crime on their loved ones. He never disappoints.

Superb Coverage of Why 4 Youths were Heartlessly Murdered

This true mystery of 4 young lives cut short (3 were teens and 1 just past 20) on a sunny Texas afternoon baffled the public and Houston Police Department profoundly. The popular 4 friends were just watching television and enjoying each other's company when they were suddenly murdered together. Who could have done this ... and why? is answered in this well-written and thorough police investigation narrated in excellent fashion. There are also human interest chapters about the suffering families longing for justice and the overworked detectives dedicated to solving this case. And by the way--yes, they do! (You will not be left wondering!) The riveting story held my attention well and even the epilogue was interesting for me to read.
