“If anything ever happens to
me, promise me that you will see
that
there
is
an
investigation...And find Ann
Rule and ask her to write my
sto ry ,” Sheila B lackthorne
Bellush told her sister after she
divorced multimillionaire Allen
Blackthorne. Now, in perhaps
the first book ever written at a victim’s request, America’s Number
One bestselling true-crime writer, Ann Rule, untangles a horrific
web of lies that culminated in Sheila’s savage murder more than ten
years after she left Blackthorne.
Following a trail of deception from Oregon and Hawaii to Texas
and Florida, Ann Rule gained complete access to Sheila’s family,
friends, and neighbors, as well as to the detectives and prosecutors
on the case. With “Every Breath You Take,” Ann Rule has written
a heart-pounding account of obsession, revenge, and murder that
will enthrall readers from beginning to end.
