About this ebook

The true story of a teenage killer and the silence of a small New England town.

For twenty years Daniel Paquette's murder in New Hampshire went unsolved. It remained a secret between two high school friends until Eric Windhurst's arrest in 2005. What was revealed was a crime born of adolescent passion between Eric and Daniel's stepdaughter, Melanie- redefining the meaning of loyalty, justice, and revenge.

Ratings and reviews

The book tends to bounce around a bit. And some of the details are inaccurate. But mostly it gives the reader a sense of being there during the unfolding of this case. Decent read.

Good read a little hard to follow. But over all very interesting.
