M William Phelps wrote Never See Them Again (2012) as a tribute to the four murder victims and for us, his readers, hoping to answer that elusive question - Why do people kill?
Paperback: In the summer of 2003, the Houston suburb of Clear Lake, Texas, was devastated when four young residents were viciously slain within the confines of their own home.
Police described it as "an outright carnage."
The two female victims were just eighteen years old, popular and beloved - but when a killer came knocking, it turned out to be someone they knew all too well and had been right under everyone's nose the entire time.
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 took three years - with investigators trawling through nearly a dozen states halfway across the country - before the crime could be understood.
Could it be understood or couldn't it? Did the story even partly answer that ambiguous question - Why do people kill? You decide.
