With an adorable son and a gorgeous home, the couple seemed to have it all. But a furtive evil permeated their days and nights, dragging them into a murky world of drugs, sordid sex, and con operations. In this realm, one of them would prove to be a virtual innocent, the other a manipulator with no conscience. Sudden, violent death brought their charade of a fairy-tale romance to a tragic end -- with a brutal crime that might never have come to light were it not for the stubborn detectives and prosecutors whose fight for justice spanned an entire decade. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEmpty Promises\u003c\/i\u003e recounts several other cases where the search for love brought only lies and betrayal -- a cautionary primer, perhaps, for those who trust too much too soon. Powerful because they strike so close to home, the cases in \u003ci\u003eEmpty Promises\u003c\/i\u003e will leave readers shaken by the realities of love gone terribly -- and fatally -- wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780671025335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Pocket Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40941687734478,"sku":"9780671025335","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/O_49afaf6b-6a85-41d9-917f-7ecc118a22f9.jpg?v=1645908435","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780671025335","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
