Pure Murder

“A compelling read.” —Suzy Spencer, New York Times bestselling author of Wasted“We gotta kill ‘em. They know what we look like.” On a hot summer night in Houston, two teenage girls—bright, beautiful, success-bound friends—took a shortcut home from a friend’s apartment to make their curfew. They never reached their homes. The next morning, the families of the two girls began a frantic search, organizing friends and neighbors and posting thousands of fliers across the sprawling city. But not until an anonymous 911 call four days later were the bodies of Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena finally recovered. Their killers were soon rounded up—a brutal, unrepentant gang of teenage boys whose convictions should have put them behind bars for life. But in the halls of justice, nothing is ever a sure bet . . . “Corey Mitchell empathized with crime victims in a way unique and personal way. That empathy is evident in every true crime book he wrote and is what makes his books heartfelt, compelling reads.” —Suzy Spencer “No one faces evil head on like Corey Mitchell.” —Gregg Olsen INCLUDES 16 PAGES OF HAUNTING PHOTOS
