Where Monsters Hide

Sex, Murder, and Madness in the Midwest



 Intrigue, deception, and serial homicide erupt in New York Times bestselling investigative journalist M. William Phelps's true crime investigation into the complex and fascinating case of convicted killer Kelly Cochran, a woman with an insatiable appetite, who might have not only murdered one lover, but two. 

An unexplained disappearance spirals into an unrelenting murder mystery.
 
In October 2014, local Michigan police chief Laura Frizzo faced a perplexing missing-person case.  It was not like Chris Regan, a devoted father and dependable employee, to take off without explanation. When Frizzo learned Chris was having an affair with Kelly Cochran, a married co-worker, suspicion fell on Kelly’s hulking husband, Jason. Soon after that the Cochrans abruptly moved to Indiana.
 
Sixteen months later, Jason Cochran died from a drug overdose. Friends and family rallied around the grieving Kelly. But when the coroner ruled Jason’s death a homicide, no one reacted more bizarrely than his widow. Detectives tried to put Kelly’s past into focus. But the horrific truth was hidden under a near-perfect patchwork of lies. Veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps expertly reveals Kelly Cochran’s staggering saga of murder, revenge, and payback.

Praise for Where Monsters Hide

Praise for Where Monsters Hide 

"Phelps knows how to work it, mainly by fleshing out ... character with prurient details ... and examples of ... maddening game-playing." - The New York Times Book Review  

"A chilling, real-life tale of murder and madness." - BookTrib

"Sometimes truth really is stranger, and scarier, than fiction, as demonstrated by investigative reporter M. William Phelps' Where Monsters Hide...This is narrative nonfiction of the highest order, a sumptuously scintillating tale that greets us with the character types we're used to seeing in the fiction of Lisa Gardner, Harlan Coben or Lisa Scottoline. Superb in all respects." - The Providence Journal
