Evil Intentions: How an Act of Kindness Led to Senseless Murder

This true crime account follows the abduction, rape and murder of Suzanne Rossetti. It looks at the circumstances that led up to the crime, which began with a simple act of kindness, and traces the search for the two men responsible, Michael David Logan and Jesse James Gillies. The narrative then turns to their trial. Written as a factual reconstruction, it offers a grim portrait of a violent case and of the investigation that followed it.
