From the author of No Good Deed comes a true-crime shocker.

On June 11, 1988, 27-year-old Janet Moore was stabbed to death in her San Diego apartment. After clues and leads went nowhere, her sad and tragic murder became a cold case. But detectives never gave up on her.

Eighteen years later, thousands of miles away, a Daytona Beach police officer stopped Mark Elder for driving with an expired license plate. The officer found and confiscated a partially smoked marijuana cigarette. Aware of a rapist on the loose, the butt was examined for DNA and a match was made to a 2004 rape. Incredibly, the same DNA match turned up in San Diego—Moore’s killer and the serial rapist were the same.

Through exclusive interviews with detectives on the case and Elder himself, former police officer and reporter Tom Basinski not only exposes the mind and motives of an elusive killer, but explores the fascinating inner workings of the tireless, brilliant two-decade investigation that finally brought about justice.
