Deadly Heist: The True Story of the Mile High Bank Massacre

I'm pleased to announce that my fourth true crime book, DEADLY HEIST: The True Story of the Mile High Bank Massacre, is slated for release on 2/16/25. Lucky enough to have had Tom Costello, NBC News Senior Correspondent, pen the foreword. The blurb is already posted on the site. Truly fascinating story I hope I've told well.

I'm pleased to announce that there is a brand new afterword to EXTREME PUNISHMENT, bringing the story of the Dan Markel murder case current through the most recent trial and startling arrest. If you've already purchased the book through Kindle or Audible, you can re-download through your phone, Kindle, or computer and instantly have access to the afterword. The afterword will also be included in the printed edition in the very near future.

Proud to announce the release of my second true crime book, EVIL AT LAKE SEMINOLE: The Shocking True Story Surrounding the Disappearance of Mike Williams. This story is unlike any true crime you've ever read. I've been fortunate to receive glowing reviews from two New York Times bestselling true crime authors: M. William Phelps praised the book for capturing “the humanity of victim Mike Williams, while laying out a solid case with journalistic acuity and grace” and labeled it a “must read for fans of the genre.” Rebecca Morris described it as an “unputdownable . . . well-reported, gripping thriller.”

On sale June 15 in Kindle, paperback, and Audible, my debut as a narrator. Hope you'll purchase and recommend to friends.

Check out the True Murder podcast featuring MURDER ON BIRCHLEAF DRIVE. https://www.blogtalkradio.com/dan-zup...

For those who have completed MURDER ON BIRCHLEAF DRIVE and/or who want to learn more about the Jason Young murder case, my website is chock full of information, from the timeline of events to search warrants, crime scene photos, security camera images at the Hampton Inn, filings in the wrongful death and custody cases, court opinions, and national and local news stories and video footage about the case, etc. And for those who are truly obsessed with this case (like me), from the website, you can literally watch the entirety of both trials on recorded video, as well as the oral arguments at the NC Court of Appeals and NC Supreme Court. I also include news about the book and a calendar of upcoming book signings and other events. Check it out at www.murderonbirchleafdrive.com

For those who have completed MURDER ON BIRCHLEAF DRIVE, I’m curious how many of you would have voted guilty had you been on either jury. And why. It’s a question I’m often asked as people read the book.
