“Rother is the next Ann Rule.” —Gregg Olsen

Nanette Johnston Packard, a sexy divorcee, liked to meet men at the gym and through personal ads. Soon after she began dating millionaire Bill McLaughlin, he moved her and her kids into his bay-front home in Newport Beach. But one man was never enough for Nanette . . .

Eric Naposki, her NFL linebacker lover, fulfilled Nanette’s wilder cravings. Together they schemed to make her fiancé’s fortune their own. When McLaughlin was gunned down, authorities had suspicions—but no proof. Pulitzer-nominated writer Caitlin Rother explores this chilling story of a woman who seemed to have it all—until justice finally had its day.
