true crime

My new book is By Their Father's Hand: the True Story of the Wesson Family Massacre by Monte Francis. As the title states the book revolves around the stories and accounts that took place on March 12, 2004 in Fresno County. I was glad to see this book on the shelves at the book store because I remember faintly hearing about this story as it was being overshadowed by the murder investigation for Lacy Peterson and trial of Scott Peterson. When the story first came out about the father who killed his wife and children, there were rumors that it revolved around a cult, but that was not the true story. Marcus Wesson was a selfish man who confused beliefs of religion, vampire admiration, and his pride to get what he wanted out of life and his family. Maybe its the criminologist inside me, but I can't stop reading this book- it's just so interesting.
