{"product_id":"the-killing-kind","title":"The Killing Kind","description":"\u003cp\u003eShe was seventeen years old  a beautiful girl with a Hollywood smile and luminous brown eyes. Sprawled in a culvert just off the gravel road like an abandoned doll  she wore only toe socks  a sweatshirt  and a necklace. She was not the killers first victim. Nor would she be his last.  The lush  green hills that mark the border of North and South Carolina are home to a close-knit community. When the savaged remains of high-spirited Heather Catterton and sweet-natured Randi Saldana were found and a local man was linked to their murders  residents were forced to face an evil in their midst. The killer was one of their own . . .  Danny Hembree was far from being an upright  law-abiding citizen. But he was part of the fabric of the local scene  devoted to his mother and sister. No one saw him as a remorseless killer who preyed on those who trusted him. When questioned by police  Hembree didnt just play cat-and-mouse and then confess. He bragged. Taunted. Laughed about his merciless deeds.  In The Killing Kind acclaimed  award-winning investigative crime journalist M. William Phelps delves into the background of Hembrees victims  bringing readers into their lives in intimate detail. With exclusive information from detectives and prosecutors  Phelps reconstructs the chilling clues that led to Hembrees arrest  and the media sensation surrounding his trial  mistrial  and ultimate conviction.  As the victims loved ones attempt to heal  Hembree continues to widen the scope of his crimes from behind bars. M. William Phelps draws on interviews and correspondence with the serial killer himself  bringing readers into the mind of a murderer  and into the heart of a real-life story of bloodshed  tears  and the long road to justice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947621281845,"sku":"ByrdShop_1617734454","price":88.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781617734458.jpg?v=1770021476","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-killing-kind","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
