Description
Ann Rule's Practice to Deceive is a shocking true crime tale of greed, sex, and murder on an isolated island in the Pacific Northwest. On Whidbey Island, life is low-key, but when a body was discovered with a single bullet wound, the whole island was shocked. The case began with the discovery of Russel Douglas's bloodied SUV, found in a hidden driveway near one of the island's most exclusive mansions. Initially, police suspected suicide, but as they investigated further, they uncovered evidence that suggested a more sinister crime had been committed. The victim's estranged wife, Brenna, had reported her husband's physical and emotional abuse to their colleague, Peggy Sue Thomas. In this gripping account, Ann Rule unravels the complex web of relationships and motives that led up to the tragic event, presenting a case that is both shocking and thought-provoking.
