"Unbelievable"
People see a handsome and charming person, who can make
anyone believe he is your best friend willing to do
anything for you. However, he is actually an abusive,
masochistic transvestite, who loathes all females. His two
former wives remain scared to death of him and feel
fortunate to have survived marriage to him and remain
relatively sane. Sheila knows nothing about Allen's past and feels like
the luckiest person alive when they marry. By the time
they have two children, she knows she has married a monster
who enjoys publicly humiliating her at any time. Gathering
her courage, she tries to leave him, but he has plans to
extort a cruel price by using their children as his means
of control. When she remarries and has quadruplets with
her new husband, Allen goes berserk and begins a harassment
campaign that the military would be proud to adopt in
Southern Iraq. Sheila and her husband move to another
state, but Allen continues to harass her. The day comes
when her throat is cut, but justice is not served time
because her killer remains free and becomes the media's
darling. Except for the fact that Ann Rule is the ruler of true
crime, readers will find it difficult to accept that EVERY
BREATH YOU TAKE is true crime and not fiction. Ms. Rule
captures the essence of evil making it available for her
audience to take a deep look inside a human monster. The
investigation ands trial is exciting and as good as any
legal thriller can be, leaving readers holding their
breaths to see if justice prevails. Harriet Klausner
