About the book

Katrina Marino is about to become Americas most infamous murder victim.

This is Katrinas story, and the story of her killer.

It is also the story of Katrinas neighbours, those who witnessed her murder and did nothing: the terrified Vietnam draftee; the woman who thinks shes killed a child, and her husband who will risk everything for the truth; the former soldier planning suicide and the man who saves him. And others whose lives are touched by the crime: the elderly teacher whose past is catching up with him; the amateur blackmailer whos about to find out just what sort of people hes been threatening; the corrupt cop who believes he is Gods red right hand.

Shocking and compassionate, angry and gripping, ACTS OF VIOLENCE is a sprawling, cinematic tour-de-force, a terrifying crime novel unlike any other.
