Murder in the Heartland

By M. William Phelps. Lisa Montgomery steals a baby in violent fashion, changing "two picture-perfect American towns forever." Seems like one of these stories is about five too many, and yet it's a seeming staple of the true-crime section. This hardcover first printing is in good condition: a bit of shelfwear to the jacket, but crisp and bright inside, no dog-ears or markings to the pages -- just a previous owner's bookplate inside. A nice reading copy.
