Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to true crime where the investigation itself becomes the story, with surprising turns that upend the obvious culprit.
You want psychological depth in your crime narratives, not just a recounting of facts.
You appreciate meticulous reporting that reconstructs a case from multiple angles and builds genuine suspense.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a resolution that feels conclusive and satisfying, as this case carries real ambiguity about motive and guilt.
You prefer your true crime focused on the criminal's perspective rather than the investigative process.
You're looking for a quick, straightforward crime narrative without the deeper psychological examination.

About this book

In February 1991, newscaster Diane Newton King was shot by a sniper as she stepped out of her car in Marshall, Michigan, a suburb near Battle Creek known for its Victorian mansions. Her children were in the backseat at the time. Police initially suspected a stalker who had been harassing King, but as their investigation stalled, they turned their attention to a suspect closer to home. Lowell Cauffiel reconstructs the crime and its investigation, depicting the atmosphere of terror surrounding King's final days. The account examines themes of celebrity, obsession, and the circumstances of the murder.
