Paperback. Between innocence and guilt are a hundred shades of evil. The accused killers were children: 12yr old Alex King and his brother Derek, one year older, the 2 youngest defendants ever to stand trial for murder in Florida's history. The boys had already confessed to the brutal slaying of Terry King, their own father, who was beaten to death with a baseball bat on a November night in 2001, on the outskirts of Pensacola. But in the course of the seemingly open-and-shut legal proceedings, a shadowy third player began to emerge. A convicted paedophile named Rick Chavis had befriended young Alex and was now, bizarrely, going to be tried separately for the same crime; a monstrous human predator who had seen 2 confused youths as perfect, easy prey. Illus. + Epilogue. 404pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V.v. lightly browned edges o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
