Last Dance, Last Chance

Praise for Ann Rule’s Brilliant New York Times Bestsellers
EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE
    “Affecting, tense, and smart true-crime…. Rule digs up details…that form a case study of the classic American con man crossed with the more exotic strains of the sociopath.”
    —Washington Post Book World
    “Ann Rule has outdone herself….”
    —The Orlando Sentinel (FL)
    “Rule, in classic form, meticulously re-creates the…lives of her characters.”
    —Publishers Weekly
    “Troubling but absolutely riveting…. A sober, nonsensational account of Sheila’s murder, the mind-boggling series of events preceding it, and the nail-biting sequence of twists and turns in the investigation of the crime…. As usual, Rule excels at painting psychologically perceptive portraits of all the characters in this stranger-than-fiction but nevertheless real-life drama.”
    —Booklist
…AND NEVER LET HER GO
    “Most people like to think they recognize evil when they see it. But as this gripping story makes clear, most people are wrong. Much more than the profile of a handsome, insidious killer and the young woman he murdered,… And Never Let Her Go is also the story of three close-knit families and how 30-year-old Anne Marie Fahey’s death strengthened or destroyed them…. In Rule’s capable hands, [this is] the raw material for a modern-day tragedy.”
    —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
    “[A] truly creepy true-crime story…. This portrait of an evil prince needs no embellishment.”
    —People
    “In her selection and treatment of the Fahey murder, [Rule] might have created her masterpiece.”
    —The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
    “Even crime buffs who followed the case closely are bound to gain new insights…. The courtroom scenes of Capano are especially compelling.”
    —The Orlando Sentinel (FL)
    “[Rule] tell[s] the sad story with authority, flair, and pace.”
    —The Washington Post
    “[A] compassionate portrayal of the victim and a chilling portrayal of her killer…. This is a true page-turner.”
    —Booklist
BITTER HARVEST
    “A must-read story of the ’90s American dream turned, tragically, to self-absorbed ashes.”
    —People
    “Impossible to put down…. A tour de force from America’s best true-crime writer.”
    —Kirkus Reviews
    “[A] tension-filled, page-turning chronology and analysis of a psychopath in action…. It is Rule’s expert attention to detail that makes this Medea-incarnate story so compelling…. [A] gripping saga of sin and murder most foul.”
    —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
EMPTY PROMISES
And Other True Cases
Ann Rule’s Crime Files: Vol. 7
    “Fascinating, unsettling tales…. The shortest article here is deeper, and tells us more about the nature of crime, than a whole stack of full-length books written by less talented competitors. Among the very small group of top-notch true-crime writers, Rule just may be the best of the bunch.”
    —Booklist
A RAGE TO KILL
And Other True Cases
Ann Rule’s Crime Files: Vol. 6
    “Her telling of the [Seattle] bus-crash saga is filled with those trademark touches that make Rule’s readers feel like they were there.”
    —The Seattle Times
    “Gripping tales…. Fans of true crime know they can rely on Ann Rule to deliver the dead-level best.”
    —The Hartford Courant (CT)
THE END OF THE DREAM
And Other True Cases
Ann Rule’s Crime Files: Vol. 5
    “[The] stories take on a poignancy that goes far beyond mere cops-’n’-robbers stuff. Without resorting to psycho-babble, Rule tells us—through exhaustively detailed interviews with lovers, friends, and families—what led three such talented men to such tragic ends.”
    —Seattle Post-Intelligencer
    “Rule’s true-life crime stories read better than most fiction murder plots.”
    —St. Petersburg Times (FL)
