LOVE MURDER

An exploding Chrysler LeBaron found two days before Christmas 1998 in La Jolla, California turns out to contain a body but reveals little of the culprit.

PART 2 OF 2. When a young British woman vanishes in Tokyo, her family is heartbroken and terrified. They are soon shocked to discover the mysterious life Lucie was leading in her few short months abroad. During the search for Lucie, loved ones and investigators travel down a twisted path through Japan’s seedy underbelly uncovering multiple disappearances and deaths, conniving con-artists, and an alarming amount of evidence. Although an arrest is made many questions remain.
