From the back cover:
In 1982, Kathie Durst's disappearance made front page headlines.
The young medical student was married to Robert Durst, reclusive son of a New Youk real estate magnate. When she vanished, Kathie's friends pointed the finger at her husband. They told police that Kathie lived in terror of Robert-and that she had uncovered incriminating financial evidence about him. But Durst's secrets went even deper-and deadlier-than that.

For nearly 20 years, her disappearance remained a mystery.
In 2001, a drifter was arrested for shoplifting in Pennsylvania. He was Robert Durst-heir to an empire valued at 2 billion dollars-in disguise and subsequently indicted for the grisly dismemberment of an elderly neighbor in Texas. What transpired between Kathie's disappearance and the routine arrest was a 19 year, cross-country mystery of stolen IDs and multiple identities that raised some baffling questions about one of the country's most prominent men-and finally answered questions for a family who had fought for so long for closure and justice

"A startling inside look at the politics of police work." -Weschester County Times
