Carlton Stowers' true crime books are, without exception, some of the most engrossing I have ever read. He gives you that sense that you know the people and are privy to their thoughts, feelings, and misfortunes. This is one you'll want to stay up all night to finish.

The true story of a quiet Texas town and the coldblooded murder committed by its kids
Undercover officer George Raffield's job was to pose as a student in the small town of Midlotian, Texas, and infiltrate the high school drug ring. When Raffield's cover became suspect, word spread through a small circle of friends that the young officer would pay with his life. No one stopped it. On a rainy fall evening in 1987, Raffield was lured to an isolated field. Three bullets were fired---one unloaded into his skull. The baby-faced killer, Greg Knighten, stole eightenn dollars from Raffield's wallet, divided it among his two young accomplices, and calmly said, "It's done."
