Raymond Pingitore and Paul Lonardo

This riveting tale of true crime and the perseverance of justice grips and enthralls the reader from start to finish. In 2000, in Providence, Rhode Island, two college students -- Amy Shute and Jason Burgeson -- were approached by a group of men. Forced into the backseat and driven to a remote location, they were murdered when one of the perpetrators realized the students had seen his face. Long after the initial crime, Detective Raymond Pingitore Jr. and the families of both victims embarked on a remarkable crusade to bring the killers to justice.
