    Synopsis

    One of Canada's finest crime reporters tells the whole story of the Bernardo-Homolka case.

    The sensational trials of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka for abduction, rape, manslaughter and murder caused widespread controversy, as did the twelve-year sentence Homolka received as part of her deal with government lawyers. Yet, even though the publication ban on the case has been lifted, there is much the Canadian public still has not been told.

    Nick Pron now gives us a comprehensive account of previously banned information about Bernardo and Homolka's backgrounds and early relationship; of Homolka's role in the death of her sister, Tammy; of what turned Bernardo into a sadistic rapist and killer; of slip-shod police work and lack of communication that gave Bernardo and Homolka the opportunity to murder schoolgirls Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French; of the fifteen-month suppression of key videotape evidence; and a host of disturbing facts that were ruled inadmissable at the trial.

    Warning: This book contains graphic descriptions of violence.

    April 29, 2005: Unless you are 100% interested in this devastating murder case, do not read this book. I was in deed very interested in this case, especially knowing that Karla is coming out of jail July 5th 2005. I wanted to be very clearl of the story, and know exactly what went on. Even though this story seemed a little biased, I still believe that Karla was pressured into doing everything she did, and her actions do not at all come close to Pauls. Yet she in deed is a danger to society, and this book does allow you to see that, and allow you to see how disgusting these two individuals were. This book is very graphic and disturbing, so unless you are sure you can handle this, do not read it. I was not able to sleep the night I read the forst 200 pages of the book. God Bless all the families who had to go through all this....
