Description
If you liked The Stranger Beside Me, this book is for you. Follow Ivor and Sally Davis through their investigation into their longtime friend and neighbor when he is arrested for the murder of his wife and stepson.
Ivor and Sally Davis were horrified when their Malibu neighbors, Verna Roehler and her son, Doug died in a terrible boating accident. The nightmare only continued when her husband, their friend, Fred Roehler, was arrested and then convicted for their murder. As investigative writers they set out hoping to find Roehler innocent-instead they found a viper's nest of deceit and murder.
