Two true-crime cases of power, pursuit, and disappearance

This volume brings together two accounts inspired by real crimes. The title story centers on Andrew Luster, whose predatory behavior prompts an international effort to bring him to justice. “A Murderous Affair” shifts to a rookie FBI agent’s first assignment in a remote part of Kentucky, where an informant’s help with a case is followed by rumors of a relationship, a pregnancy claim, and her disappearance. Together, the stories examine crimes involving exploitation and the search for people who vanish, while placing law-enforcement investigations at the heart of both accounts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in true-crime accounts involving abduction, disappearance, and murder.
  • Readers who want two distinct cases in one volume, including an investigation with an international scope and one set in rural Kentucky.
  • Readers interested in crime cases involving law enforcement and informants.

Book overview

Dive into two dark stories of crime and murder from the world's #1 bestselling author, inspired by true crime horrors where murder isn't always the worst thing that can happen to you ...

Murder of Innocence: It's impossible to resist Andrew Luster. He's rich, charming, and good-looking, and dozens of women have fallen under his spell. But Andrew is no mere womanizer. He's a predator, and it'll take a global effort to put him behind bars. (with Max DiLallo)

A Murderous Affair: Mark Putnam is a rookie FBI agent given his first assignment in a remote part of Kentucky, a land of coal miners and meth dealers. Within his first months on the job, a young female informant named Susan Smith helps him make a big break in an important case. Rumors begin circulating that the agent and his informant are having an affair. After Susan starts telling people that she is pregnant with the FBI agent's baby, she suddenly disappears. (with Andrew Bourelle)
