Michael Peterson was driven to succeed.

An army brat-turned-marine, he saw combat in Vietnam, and returned a decorated soldier. An avid reader, his dreams of being an acclaimed novelist came true. His desire to find love was fulfilled when he married brilliant executive Kathleen Atwater, the first female student accepted at Duke University's School of Engineering. The Petersons seemed the ideal academic couple—well-respected, prosperous, and happy.

And compelled to kill.

All that came crashing down in December of 2001, when Kathleen apparently fell to her death in their secluded home in an exclusive area of Durham, North Carolina. But blood-spattered evidence and a missing fireplace poker suggested calculated, cold-blooded murder. Her trusted husband stood accused. Prosecutors introduced evidence at trial that sixteen years earlier, Peterson was one of the last people to see his neighbor alive before she was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in her home in Germany. A dramatic trial followed in the explosive final chapter of a life that no novelist could ever have conceived . . .

Diane Fanning is the Edgar Award-nominated, nationally bestselling author of many true crime books, including Under Cover of the Night, Her Deadly Web, Mommy's Little Girl, and Through the Window.

Diane has appeared on numerous network and cable news shows and radio stations across the United States and Canada, including Today, 48 Hours, and 20/20. Raised in Baltimore, she now lives in Bedford, Virginia.
