M. William Phelps

Dear Librarians,

People have asked me why I chose to write about the gruesome, incredibly sad (they all are) murder of four teens in Texas.  A major reason was the fact that I have children the same age as the victims in this case. I was immediately drawn to the father of one of the victims—a man who was determined to solve the case, even if he had to do it himself. Putting myself in his shoes, I knew I would have done the same thing. When I interviewed him, through his tears he said something I'll never forget: "As my daughter was fighting for her life, all I could think about was her calling out my name...and I wasn't there to help."

That crushed me.

With this book, I hope to show that light can overcome darkness, as long as good people remain steadfast in their fight against evil.
