Synopsis: A teenage girl plots her mother&’s murder with a deranged online lover in this true-crime classic by the New York Times bestselling true crime author. Jeanne Dominico was a hard-working single mother. Nicole, her fourteen-year-old daughter, was on the honor roll—and head over heels in love with an older boy she&’d met through the Internet. Once the lovers met in person, Jeanne sensed trouble. If only she&’d known that the life in danger was her own. With a history of psychological trouble and family misfortune, Billy Sullivan demanded obsessive and controlling power over Nicole. The twisted Romeo and Juliet responded to Jeanne&’s motherly concern with brutal fury—her fiancé discovered Jeanne&’s beaten, barely recognizable body on the kitchen floor. Nicole&’s stunning confession and guilty plea led to Billy&’s sensational trial, where a sordid tale of love, loss, betrayal, and murder finally took a cold-blooded killer offline—and behind bars.
