No Regrets: Ann Rule's Crime Files: Volume 11
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author who is “among the very small group of top-notch true crime writers” (Booklist) comes the eleventh installment of Ann Rule’s Crime Files, exploring heart-stopping true tales of those who commit murder with no conscience, no remorse, and no regrets.
A ship’s pilot legendary for guiding giant freighters through the narrows of Puget Sound, Rolf Neslund was a proud Norwegian, a ladies’ man, and a beloved resident of Washington’s idyllic Lopez Island. Virtually indestructible even in his golden years, he made shocking headlines when he inexplicably disappeared at eighty. Had he committed suicide, or had he run off with a lifelong love? Or did a trail of gruesome evidence lead to the home Rolf shared with his wife, Ruth? On an island where everyone thought they knew their neighbors, the veneer of their marriage masked a convoluted case that took many years to solve.
Along with six other equally riveting, detailed accounts of destruction and murder committed without conscience or regret, Ann Rule takes readers into frightening places they never could have imagined.
