Steve Hodel delivers again with this masterful and gripping chapter of his two-decade investigation into the most prolific killer the world had never known--his father, Dr. George Hill Hodel. With In The Mesquite, Steve Hodel has again built a compelling and skillful investigation that leads to only one logical suspect for the 1938 brutal murders of Hazel and Nancy Frome: his father. In this riveting one-off chapter of the murderous career of George Hodel, Steve Hodel leaves his reader begging for more. ALISA STATMAN Director and Bestselling author of RESTLESS SOULS: The Sharon Tate Family's Account of Stardom, the Manson Murders, and a Crusade for Justice Steve Hodel has done it again! Following the leads, the evidence and the circumstances surrounding the murders of Hazel and Nancy Frome, Steve has put his nose to the grindstone and solved this grisly crime, committed by his father, Dr. George Hill Hodel. Read the later chapters for undeniable links between this 1938 tragedy and so many others committed in the years to come by the same man. The evidence speaks for itself and has been brought to bear by one of the nation's most seasoned and dogged detectives. Bravo, Steve! KAREN SMITH, M.S. Retired Major Case Detective, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Forensic Expert for CNN, HLN, Nancy Grace As a collaborator with Steve in getting his book In The Mesquite into print, I am biased. However, that does not preclude me from offering my opinion. My observation of Steve Hodel's life's work, his investigations, his books is that he laboriously and meticulously gathers information and corroborates all the facts that can be corroborated. To those facts, he brings to bear over fifty years of investigative know-how and experience to support every aspect of his suppositions and conclusions. His unquestioned integrity remains the cornerstone of his investigative ethos: discover the facts, analyze the facts, let the facts connect where they will and report those facts. ROBERT J. SADLER, former Dallas Police Officer, Crime Analyst, Private Investigator, Security Consultant and author of: the true-crime book - One Step from Murder, the Friendly Burglar Rapist, and fourteen novels.
