Based on extensive research and first-hand interviews, this true crime novel offers unprecedented insight into the 2022 Idaho murders and the subsequent trial.

On 13th November 2022 in the small quiet town of Moscow, Idaho, the unthinkable happened.

Four innocent college students were murdered in their home.

In the ensuing investigation, the local police and FBI did a lot right. But what did they get wrong?

We’ve learned about the four heartbroken families – the Mogens, Goncalves, Kernodles, and Chapins.

We have the backstory for Bryan Kohberger, brilliant graduate student, loner, apparent incel.

Now, after over 300 exclusive interviews and in-depth reporting, James Patterson and prize-winning journalist Vicky Ward finally have some answers.
