A CHECKLIST FOR MURDER The True Story of Robert John Peernock

Paperback. Hoods, handcuffs, a crowbar - one man's tools for killing in a shocking case of domestic violence...and murder. Nobody knew that inside the quiet house in an upscale California neighbourhood, there lived a monster. His name was Robert Peerncok. His daughter, Natasha and her mother, Claire, had never told anyone about his cruelty and abuse. But after Claire finally started divorce proceedings, and Robert moved out, 18yr old Natasha, for the first time, stopped being afraid to go home. On July 21, 1987, she should have been. Before the night was over she and her mother had been beaten, tortured, soaked in gasoline, and left for dead. But Natasha didn't die. And she didn't know her ordeal was far from over. Because Robert Peernock was on the loose and planning his next act of revenge - in this chilling true story of a shocking crime, a desperate manhunt, and a bizarre courtroom drama that nearly let a killer go.
