The author of eight New York Times bestsellers, Ann Rule first won nationwide acclaim with The Stranger Beside Me, about serial killer Ted Bundy. Her Crime Files volumes, based on fascinating case histories, have assured her reputation as our premier chronicler of crime. Now the former Seattle policewoman brings us the horrific account of a charismatic man adored by beautiful and brilliant women who always gave him what he wanted...sex, money, their very lives.... When attorney Cheryl Keeton's brutally bludgeoned body was found in her van in the fast lane of an Oregon freeway, her husband, Brad Cunningham, was the likely suspect. But there was no solid evidence linking him to the crime. He married again, for the fifth time, and his stunning new wife, a physician named Sara, adopted his three sons. They all settled down to family life on a luxurious estate. But gradually, their marriage became a nightmare.... In this gripping account of Cheryl's murder, Ann Rule takes us from Brad's troubled boyhood to one of the most bizarre trials in legal history, uncovering multiple marriages, financial manipulations, infidelities, and monstrous acts of harassment and revenge along the way. Dead By Sunset is Ann Rule at her riveting best.

Au début des années quatre-vingt, l'Amérique sous Reagan oscille entre conservatisme et innovation technologique. Les Yuppies, obsédés par le travail, et les gays californiens, en première ligne pour faire évoluer les mentalités, se confrontent à l'impact grandissant du sida. C'est dans ce contexte que la reine Elisabeth II effectue sa première visite à San Francisco, symbolisant la vieille Europe et ses traditions, en décalage avec les avant-gardistes californiens. Ce contraste kitsch séduit ces derniers, tout comme la figure de Mme Madrigal, la logeuse excentrique de Barbary Lane, qui incarne une grand-mère engagée, cultivant des plantes dans son jardin tout en ayant un passé d'homme. On y croise Brian, aspirant à une vie de famille, sa femme Mary Ann, journaliste jonglant entre vie professionnelle et sentiments, et Michael, endeuillé par la perte de son amour à cause du sida. À travers l'humour et la fantaisie, l'auteur offre une vision romanesque qui préserve ses personnages d'un drame inévitable. Ses chroniques capturent une époque, souvent idéalisée, tout en célébrant l'amour et la solidarité.
