Overview

"It was a crime that shocked the country. On March 21, 2011, two young saleswomen were found inside a lululemon athletica store in Bethesda, Maryland, one of the nation's wealthiest suburbs. Jayna Murray, thirty, was dead--stabbed, slashed, and struck more than 300 times. Brittany Norwood, twenty-eight, was alive--tied up on a bathroom floor, her clothing ripped, her face bloodied. This is the full, true story of what happened. ""In the field of true crime you never know what you'll get--a badly written clip job or thoughtful reportage that goes beyond the crime scene to the impact of crime on people and society. This book lines up on the latter side. It was one of the best written and researched true crime books I've read in quite a while."" --MICHAEL CONNELLY, bestselling author and executive producer of the Bosch drama series ""An incredible piece of true crime."" --Cosmopolitan ""[Morse] brings a journalist's instincts to this moment-by-moment chronicle."" --The Washington Post ""[Listeners] will tear through the book--as I did--to learn the solution to the dark mystery at its core."" --HAROLD SCHECHTER, author of The Mad Sculptor: The Maniac, the Model, and the Murder that Shook a Nation"
