When Evil Rules: Vengeance and Murder on Cape Cod (St. Martin's True Crime Library)

But those who lived there year-round knew its other, darker side… Local businessman and infamous bully Melvin Reine had started setting the homes of his so-called enemies on fire.

I rarely read true crime books, but the events in this one took place in my hometown (I remember them well ) and it adds details to a lot of what happened in the book The Year We Disappeared by John and Cylin Busby.

I can't believe this guy had so much control over a town and got away with murder not once but many times.
I could only force myself to read half of this book. It just did not flow or grab my attention, which is saying a lot since the subject matter is a true and interesting account. I do not usually give up on a book, but my time is too valuable.
what a creeper. well written though.
