Publisher's Synopsis
There are rumors. Someone saw him stark naked in the church library. Others whisper that he visited brothels and engaged in lewd acts involving slaughtered birds... But he's such a nice young man, that medical student who finds time to teach Sunday School. And the good people of Emmanuel Baptist Church don't listen to rumors. They should.
When two young women in San Francisco go missing, Theodore Durrant seems as worried as the rest of the neighborhood. But is he the man they think they know? As the Emmanuel Baptist ladies prepare for Easter festivities, they'll find more than Easter eggs hidden in the church closet.
If you're a fan of Erik Larson's Devil in the White City, Harold Schechter's Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie, and Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, you'll love Dead True Crime.
Devil You Know: The Lurid Affair of the Sunday School Strangler is part of Dead True Crime, a series of historical true crime stories of serial killers, bizarre cases, and little-known murderers. Meticulously researched short reads, they're the perfect length for a flight, the beach, or a sleepless night.
