"A lethal Lolita...Janeen Snyder was only fourteen when she moved in with Michael Thornton, his wife, and teenage daughter. Michael was a successful entrepreneur and family man with eight beauty salons and a six-figure income--but two years later, he gave it all up to run away with Janeen. At last on the road with his new young lover, Michael could indulge his darkest, wildest obsessions--for bondage, torture, rape, and worse...A secret sadist...They worked together as a team, luring girls into their twisted world of sex, mind control, violence, and depravity. They drugged them, trained them, bound them, abused them. And for many years, Michael and Janeen were never caught...until police uncovered the dead, distorted body of a Las Vegas teen in a horse trailer. One by one, detectives found other victims--the lucky ones who survived, but had been too terrified to come forward. Soon, the world would learn just how sick and derange these lovers really were..."--P. [4] of cover. |
