Best friends Daryl Barber and James Boucher were responsible, and their parents trusted them to spend Spring Break at Daytona Beach unchaperoned. When the boys missed their agreed-upon daily check-ins, their parents were disappointed. When they failed to come home on their planned return date, their parents were terrified. They could not have known that their innocent sons would encounter two violent men on the Florida coast. They could not have imagined the torture their children would endure before their bodies turned up four months later in a Florida swamp. What starts as a dream vacation, ended as every parent’s worst nightmare . . . New York Times–bestselling author Karen Kingsbury narrates the tragic tale of a road trip gone horribly wrong in this not-to-be missed true crime novel.
From the author of No Good Deed comes a true-crime shocker. On June 11, 1988, 27-year-old Janet Moore was stabbed to death in her San Diego apartment. After clues and leads went nowhere, her sad and tragic murder became a cold case. But detectives never gave up on her. Eighteen years later, thousands of miles away, a Daytona Beach police officer stopped Mark Elder for driving with an expired license plate. The officer found and confiscated a partially smoked marijuana cigarette. Aware of a rapist on the loose, the butt was examined for DNA and a match was made to a 2004 rape. Incredibly, the same DNA match turned up in San Diego—Moore’s killer and the serial rapist were the same. Through exclusive interviews with detectives on the case and Elder himself, former police officer and reporter Tom Basinski not only exposes the mind and motives of an elusive killer, but explores the fascinating inner workings of the tireless, brilliant two-decade investigation that finally brought about justice.
Known for their flamboyant lifestyle, it was no surprise to this community when Robert and Myra Vaivada became overnight headline news. But many of their secrets continue to surface–secrets that are still shocking this quiet little resort town on Florida's Emerald Coast. What brought the couple to that crucial night? The night, when close to midnight, Myra placed a gun to Robert's head while he lay sleeping and blew his brains out. Was it money?

Although both Myra and Robert had extramarital affairs, often as participants in group encounters, Myra had become sexually obsessed with a local musician. She showered him with gifts and money. Or, did Myra do it at all? She swore that an intruder broke in, robbed them of thirty to forty-thousand dollars and murdered Robert. Bizarre stories concerning the Vaivadas abound. Stories such as Myra calling exclusive clothing stores and having them bring over a truck with clothing in her size, picking out the ones she liked and then trying them on in her driveway. Stories of Myra cruising the strip every night in a limousine, picking up men or women to feed her insatiable sexual appetite. At the time of the murder, Myra's stepfather was an Air Force General. The sordid details of the case attracted so much publicity that the firm of Simpson & Judkins was hired to defend Myra. Simpson was the prosecutor of Ted Bundy. People came from all over northwest Florida to line up for a seat at the sensational thirteen-day trial. The action in the book is seen through the point of view of Robert's twin brother, William.
