True Crime

Since childhood, Mary Giordano has been fascinated by crime and detective work. But no case she has read about in the pages of TRUE CRIME magazine obsesses her like the mutilation-murder of her classmate, 14-year-old Kathleen Donlevy. Mary begins her own probe into this grisly and mysterious crime which left behind no suspects, no witnesses and scarcely a lead. Following her instincts, Mary uncovers a link between a traveling carnival and several other unsolved murders of teenage girls along the West Coast. She teams up with Tony Campbell, an ambitious young police cadet, who becomes her unofficial partner in her investigation. As their investigation proceeds, Mary finds incriminating evidence in Tony's own apartment. A horrified Mary realizes she may be forced to prove the man she's falling in love with could be a murderer, that is, if she doesn't end up dead first.
