THE SHATTERING CRIME STORY THAT SHOCKED THE NATION:
THE THOMAS CAPANO MURDER CASE

On a June evening in 1996, 30-year-old Anne Marie Fahey, secretery to the governor of Delaware, vanished without a trace following a restaurant rendezvous with her secret lover of more than two years: Thomas Capano. One of Wilmington's most prominent and respected figures, a millionaire attorney and former state proscecutor, "Tommy" was a charming, soft-spoken family man. But in the weeks and months that followed Fahey's disappearance investigators would gradually uncover the shocking truth: Capano was a steely manipulator driven by power and greed - and capable of brutal murder. In a riveting narrative expertly documented by probing interviews, diary entries, and e-mail correspondence, and with superb insight into the twisted motivations of a killer, Ann Rule chronicles a real life drama of Shakespearian proportions: ambitions fall, love turns to obsession, family names are tainted, the facade of success crumbles - and a beautiful but vulnerable young woman pays the ultimate price in a convoluted and deadly relationship.
