Dear Reader:

The book you are about to read is the latest bestseller from St. Martin’s True Crime Library, the imprint The New York Times calls “the leader in true crime!” Each month, we offer you a fascinating account of the latest, most sensational crime that has captured the national attention. In DEADLY SEDUCTION a prominent attorney thought he’d found the woman of his dreams, until the silky blonde society lady turned into a calculating, cruel seductress whose murderous future was about to rival her sordid past. DEATH CRUISE tells how a dream vacation in Florida turned into a nightmare of death on a tropical ocean for a mother and her two teenage daughters. Beneath one brilliant doctor’s kindly bedside manner lurked an insatiable killer who lured his patients into a vicious circle of death in WITHOUT MERCY.
