THE BOY NEXT DOOR.

Hardback. He lived in their peaceful town. He went to their church. And he was killing their children. In the town of Belmont, California, everyone knew Jon Dunkle. What they didn't know was that he had killed before, and would kill again. On October 2, 1984, the body of 12yr. old Lance Turner was found in a tunnel of scarlet poison oak - only yards away from where his friends played. Someone had savagely plunged a knife into his chest and twisted it. A frantic police department soon suspected a local misfit named Jon Dunkle, but were unable to tie him to the brutal crime. Until another equally gruesome murder case surfaced. Until a young female police officer had the courage to pose as Dunkle's girlfriend, and begin a harrowing journey into the dark heart of a killer. The explosive story of the boy next door who turned into a psychotic killer - and whose ability to outsmart investigators set him free to kill again. Illus. with 12 pp. of photos. 369pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Nr. F. in Vg+ dw.
