Podrobnosti o e‑knize
In this “astounding autobiography,” a celebrated true crime author delves into a tragic murder committed by his own son (Publishers Weekly).
As a single father raising two sons, Carlton Stowers did his best to instill in his boys a healthy sense of right and wrong. But with Anson, his oldest, it would prove to be an ongoing uphill battle. At a young age, Anson became involved with a number of illicit activities, including drugs, forgery, and theft.
After each jail stay, Anson would vow to get clean and start anew. But then he crossed a fatal line. Twenty-five years old and strung-out on amphetamines, Anson brutally murdered his young ex-wife.
In a brave, honest, and moving work, bestselling true-crime writer Carlton Stowers examines the downfall of his eldest son, once a happy child full of promise, now a convicted murderer serving a sixty-year sentence. With a reporter’s shrewdness and a father’s heart, Stowers presents a true story of two lives irrevocably lost, and of one man struggle to understand.
Introduction by Jonathan Kellerman
