Having spent 20+ years covering and presenting news there is little in the realm of 'true stories' that can capture my attention.  Runaway Devil is the exception.

 

This is a story with a lot of victims, in fact as a result of the actions of a 12-year old Medicine Hat girl and her boyfriend everyone, including themselves become victims of a triple homicide.

 

The story has all the elements of a sensational moment in time, but the authors provide a well-tempered even-handed presentation that lets the details speak rather than the easy out of opinion.  The interview also presents the passion each writer brings to the topic, and at the end of it they, like you and me, are left wondering.

 

 

You need to read this book, it's truth is riveting, sobering and thought provoking.
