Imagine not being able to trust those people you were always told were safe. Kathryn Casey’s book takes a long, hard look at an aggressive, mean cop named Kent McGowen.
The author is a journalist, and the writing is quick and clean. Her research took her from a sultry Houston night in August 1992 through a 1994 court trial and beyond. The story focuses on the life and untimely death of Susan White, a single mom, who was stalked and finally gunned down in her home by one of those entrust...more

Clearly, I need to go back to work. But another walk to the beach, another true crime book down the tubes.
This one tells the story of a really needy woman who grew up with little, wanted more, got hooked on pills and men, and had a REALLY troubled child who might as well have worn a big sign that said "BOUND FOR JAIL" - but she only saw him as her baby, and the kid had no accountability or rules, and it all just go creepy, especially when the woman slept with the kid's best...more

This is the story of a lady who was murdered by a Houston sheriff in 1992. The story is well written, but it comes to an abrupt end which I didn't care for too much. Most true crime gives a summary at the end of the story of what has happened to the main characters in the book, but this author did not, thus the three stars instead of four.
Scary! Disturbing to know that this man wasn't stopped sooner from being in a position to exert any type of authority. Makes you wonder who you can trust if those who we expect to protect us are this type of person.
I was going to start this..... until I realized I'd already read it years ago. Which kind of ticks me off since I only ordered and received it this week but oh well....
very good book - Casey did a wonderful job and this will petrify any reader. The fact that this man was a police officer sends shivers down my spine to this day. I feel for this woman and her parents. Not one to miss!

Not a great book, but the story took place in our neck of the woods (Spring, Texas), so that made it pretty compelling. We also had the asst DA involved in the case as a guest speaker at our book club. Downright scarey when you hear of who some of our uniformed officers really are!
Don't read this unless you want to be pissed off.
Yes, cops can be the bad guy.
