Every Breath You Take: A True Story of Obsession,
Revenge, and Murder
When beautiful, blond Sheila married the charming, handsome Blackthorne,
she was convinced she had found her perfect soul mate, and helped
him attain the privileged life of the country club set. But behind
Allen's smooth facade, she discovered a violent, controlling sociopath
-- a liar, a scam artist, a sexual deviant. When she finally fled
with their two young daughters, she was skeletally thin, bruised,
and beaten. Although Sheila recovered and remarried, she still felt
she was doomed. Joyously pregnant -- she and her new husband expected
quadruplets -- Sheila still feared Blackthorne would use his millions
and power to track her down. As did her killer, who left her in a
pool of blood marked by the tiny footprints of her two-year old toddlers.
Could the authorities ever link Sheila's murder to Blackthorne himself?
Was his true obsession high-stakes golf and his extravagant pink mansion
-- or was it to destroy Sheila? Following a trail of deception from
Oregon and Hawaii to Texas and Florida, Ann Rule gained complete access
to Sheila's family, friends, and neighbors, as well as to the detectives
and prosecutors on the case.
