But beneath the happy façade was a woman who used lies, manipulation, sex, ugly allegations, blackmail--and even murder--to serve her own selfish ends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On December 13, 2001, police rushed to Tracey's home after a shooting left her vulnerable young neighbor dead. Tracey claimed it was an act of self-defense. Nine gunshot wounds--and a decades-long trail of extortion, fabrication, fraud, and intimidation--said otherwise. Ten years after the crime, Tracey's case finally went to trial in an explosive courtroom showdown. In a searing exploration of the criminal mind, bestselling investigative journalist M. William Phelps traces the saga of a psychopath who hid in plain sight--until her wicked ways caught up with her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e \"Phelps dares to tread where few others will: into the mind of a killer.\" --\u003ci\u003eTV Rage\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e \"Phelps is the king of true crime.\" --Lynda Hirsch, Creators Syndicate columnist\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"One of our most engaging crime journalists.\" --Dr. Katherine Ramsland\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"\u003cb\u003ePhelps treads dangerous ground like an Amazon jungle guide--fearless, compassionate, insightful.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e --Geoff Fitzpatrick, Executive Producer of \u003ci\u003eDark Minds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"Anything by Phelps is an eye-opening experience.\" --\u003ci\u003eSuspense Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e INCLUDES 16 PAGES OF DRAMATIC PHOTOS\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Pinnacle Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45082486702231,"sku":"9780786037285","price":579.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786037285.webp?v=1767098618","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beautifully-cruel-9780786037285","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
