Synopsis

The officer responding to a 911 call at one of Houston's hippest high-rises expected the worst. After all, domestic violence situations can be unpredictable. But nothing could've prepared him for what he found: a beautiful woman drenched in blood, an older man lying dead on the floor, and a cobalt blue suede stiletto with tufts of white hair stuck to its five-and-a-half-inch heel.

With her stunning looks, magnetic personality, and erratic behavior, Ana Trujillo had a notorious reputation on the downtown Houston scene. She spoke often of occult powers, though few knew how deeply she believed such boasts. Stefan Andersson was a gentle soul, a Swedish transplant with a good career and trusted friends, who was desperate to find someone special. Theirs is a story of obsession, madness, and tragedy. Because once Stefan fell head over heels for Ana, he was under her control—and he didn't have a chance in hell.

Goodreads review by ♥ Marlene♥

A very well written true crime book. It did (does) make my blood anger that a defense lawyer can go so far but I know of this practise of blaming a victim because women are raped every second and so many of them do not even tell their friends let alone the cops because the ones that do go to trial a......more

Goodreads review by Alisi ☆ wants to read too many books ☆

This is a truly sad case of a truly pacifist man who allowed a woman to beat him to death rather than hurting her. It's so hard to understand though. He must've hard rock hard control of himself. It makes him even more admirable too, though. Such a sad story and the defense had to run his name throu......more

Goodreads review by Kathleen

I hadn't read true crime for a while- it seems to have fallen out of fashion- and I was very happy to read this book, which is extremely well written and wow- what a story.
