Bundy dans Un tueur si proche, Ann Rule n'a pas oublié qu'elle a été flic, et la rigueur de ses investigations lui vaut un triomphe international. L'histoire qu'elle rapporte ici lui a pourtant donné du fil à retordre : elle débute comme un conte de fées, par un mariage sur une plage hawaiienne, et vire au cauchemar dans un camping de l'Oregon, à l'automne 2000. Une meurtrière dépeinte comme une figure angélique, un mort qui passe pour un monstre à abattre... Entre les partisans de l'une et de l'autre, Ann Rule démêle l'écheveau de mensonges, d'ambitions et de trahisons qui conduisit à une tragédie insensée. -- 4e de couv

Southern LivingA National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35 honoree delivers her first work of nonfiction: a compulsively readable, genre-bending story of finding her missing birth mother and, along the way, learning the priceless power of self-knowledge.In 2020, Tracy O’Neill began to rethink her ideas of comfort and safety. Just out of a ten-year relationship and thirtysomething, she was driven by an acute awareness that the mysterious mother she’d never met might be dying somewhere in South Korea.After contacting a grizzled private investigator, O’Neill took his suggested homework to heart when he disappeared before the job was done, picking up the trail of clues and becoming her own hell-bent detective. Despite COVID-19, the promise of what she might discover—the possibility that her biological mother was her kind of outlaw, whose life could inspire her own—was too tempting.Written like a mystery novel, Woman of Interest is a tale of self-discovery and fugitivity from convention that features a femme fatale of unique proportions, a former CIA operative with a criminal record, and a dogged investigator of radical connections outside the nuclear family. O’Neill gorgeously bends the detective genre to her own will as a writer, stepping out of the shadows of her own self-conception to illuminate the hopes of the woman of interest she is both chasing and becoming.
