From the back cover - Girl-next-door Katrina Montgomery, 20, was blessed with beauty, brains, and a loving family. But inexplicably, something drew her to the dark side. As a teen, she had begun sneaking off to party with a violent, drug-abusing Neo-Nazi gang, and she couldn't seem to resist her attraction to tattooed skinhead Justin Merriman, 20, a brutal, boozing speed freak.
My review - This was an eye-opening book about white supremacist gangs. The lives they lead are shocking. Thank God for men like Deputy DA Ron Bamieh and Investigator Mark Volpei who never gave up until they got the fiend who killed Katrina.

Katrina Montgomery, 20 was a smart pretty girl but she was drawn to the dark side when it came to men she met a skinhead Justin Merriman and plunged into a life of drug abuse and a Neo-Nazi gang called The Skin Head Dogs.This is the story of her murder and the events leading up to it. Very fast paced story.Hard to believe it's true.
