About this ebook
In this white-knuckled entry in Ann Rule’s Crime Files, the #1 New York Times bestselling author presents the true story of a man who betrayed his family with heinous crimes and other tales of passion and greed.
Former Marine sergeant and judo instructor Roland Pitre Jr. claimed it was all an elaborate plan to win back his wife’s love—it wasn’t supposed to end with her dead body in the trunk of a car. It would be nearly twenty years before he admitted to hiring someone to kill his estranged wife, but the alleged confession was as shocking and convoluted as the crime itself.
The “prolific and talented” (Publishers Weekly) Ann Rule dives into this shocking true crime with her signature compassion and insight. She reveals how Pitre managed to avoid conviction and the two generations of detectives who worked doggedly for justice.
Worth More Dead also features several more nonfiction tales from one of the world’s “top-notch true crime writers” (Booklist).

This is another typical Rule book with the difference of a long drawn out first story, that should have been over half way through it's tale. Otherwise, Ann Rule at her best.
