Book Description:
They were best friends, four talented and charismatic young men who lived charmed lives among the evergreens of Washington state: Kevin, the artist; Steve, the sculptor; Scott, the nature lover and unabashed ladies' man; and Mark, the musician and poet. With their stunning good looks, whip-sharp minds, athletic bodies -- and no lack of women who adored them -- none of them seemed slated for disaster. But few knew the reality behind the leafy screen that surrounded Seven Cedars, Scott's woodland dream home -- a tree house equipped with every luxury. From this idyllic enclave, some of these trusted friends would become the quarry for a vigilant Seattle police detective and an FBI special agent, who unmasked clues to disturbing secrets that spawned murder, suicide, million-dollar bank robberies, drug-dealing, and heartbreaking betrayal. When the end came in a violent stand-off, the ringleader of the foursome -- the fugitive dubbed "Hollywood" for his ingenious disguises and flawless getaways; the persuasive talker who turned his friends into accomplices -- faced a final chapter no one could have predicted. In a blast of automatic gunfire, the highest and lowest motives of the human heart were, at last, revealed. Along with four other true-crime tales, The End of the Dream is a masterful and compelling tour of the criminal mind from Ann Rule.

So-So ...Riveting promotional description is more interesting than the actual story. Murder? There was no murder in the main story. The main character is more self-destructive than anything. Ann Rule is a good writer, of course, but other true crime stories are more engaging.

Ann Rule's writing is spellbinding. She brings us into the minds of criminals. I truly could not put down this book.
Scott seemed to have it all-looks,money and going far in life. But his lifestyle includes drugs, heartbreak and betrayal.
If you love true crime novels, Ann Rule is the author you must read! I have read all of her books and have never been disappointed.
