Drifting into darkness : murder, madness, suicide, and a death 'under suspicious circumstances'
"On Thanksgiving weekend in 2004, wealthy Charlotte and Brent Springford Sr. were brutally beaten to death. Suspicion quickly fell on the Springfords' gifted but troubled son Brent Jr., who would be sentenced to life without parole. But a mystery remained: who was the elusive woman claiming to be a Native American shaman who investigators believe manipulated Brent into this murder? Veteran crime reporter Mark I. Pinsky's extensive research prompted investigators to invite him to join their dogged pursuit of justice. This first-person involvement makes Drifting Into Darkness especially thrilling, placing the reader alongside Pinsky in the hunt for a brutal killer and his accomplices. Provided by publisher.
