The Hand of God

In the early summer of 1955, Palm Beach County judge Curtis Chillingworth and his socialite wife Marjorie mysteriously disappeared from their beach home at Manalapan, Florida and were never seen again. No bodies were ever found and the only evidence was a trail of blood which led from the home's back porch to the ocean's edge. Over the years, in the public's imagination, the story took on mythic proportions. Who would want to kill the foremost jurist in Palm Beach County and his charming, devoted wife? What could be the motivation behind such savagery? Would the perpetrators ever be caught? This novel is based on those brutal murders.
