<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From a critically acclaimed writer whom Ann Rule has called one of the best in the true crime genre comes the story of the brutal murders of a mother and child in a quiet suburb of Houston--at the hands of the one closest to them. Original.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Kathryn Casey is one of the best true crime writers today."<br />--Ann Rule</p> </p>With true crime classics like <em>Descent into Hell </em>and<em> Die My Love, </em>author Kathryn Casey has peered into the darkest corners of the Lone Star State, shedding a fascinating, chilling light on a series of notorious Texas murders. In <em>Shattered, </em>she explores in riveting detail an infamous Houston area crime: the brutal slaying of a young mother and her unborn child by the person closest to them. Bestselling author Carlton Stowers numbers Kathryn Casey "among the elite of true crime writers," and <em>Shattered</em>--a shocking true story of blood, rage, and betrayal--will only enhance her reputation as one of the best of the best.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Hero, Husband, Father . . . <em>Monster</em>?</p><p>In Creekstone, Texas, a small, quiet suburb of Houston, football was king . . . and David Temple was a prince. A former high school and college gridiron star-turned-coach, he had a fairy-tale marriage to bright, vivacious Belinda Lucas, a teacher at the local high school who was so warm and popular her colleagues called her The Sunshine Girl.</p><p>The fairy tale ended savagely on January 11, 1999, when Belinda's lifeless body was discovered in a closet. Her skull had been shattered by a shotgun blast at close range. She was eight months pregnant.</p><p>There was no damning evidence directly linking the brutal murder to husband David, who stood by emotionless and dry-eyed as police searched the crime scene. But a dogged eight-year investigation would expose a shocking history of cruelty and domination, infidelity and rage--ultimately resulting in an epic courtroom battle for the ages--as the scandalous truth was revealed about love betrayed and innocent lives . . . shattered.</p>
