But after hacking into a teacher's computer at his school, a stint in the Marines was his only option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a young recruit, Luke was taunted for being a virgin who didn't cuss, drink, or smoke pot. That all changed when Luke met Casey Byrams, a fun-loving musician and fellow Marine from Cullman, Alabama. Their friendship set off a series of events that would eventually lead Luke to Pendleton, Oregon, where he brutally murdered nineteen-year-old Amyjane Brandhagen in August 2012. When Luke attempted to kill another woman almost a year later, Pendleton Police knew they had a serial-killer wannabe on their hands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome forty years prior to Amyjane's murder, Luke's maternal grandfather, Gene Dale Lincoln, murdered a young Michigan woman and attempted to abduct a twelve-year-old girl. The similarities between the violent actions of grandfather and grandson compels the question: Is there such a thing as a murder gene?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koehler Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45135311110295,"sku":"9781646636488","price":2261.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781646636488.webp?v=1767908486","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-murder-gene-a-true-story-9781646636488","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
