Overview

Originally published in 1991, available now for the first time in e-book form!

Tess Alexander is a struggling young writer with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She's been chosen to write a true-crime account of the decade's most sensational murder trial--the shocking case of ex-governor Chandler...accused of the arson-murders of his wife, daughter, and granddaughter.

Whatever the final verdict of the trial, the book is sure to be a best seller. For any other writer, it might be a ticket to fame. But for Tess, it can only be a one-way ticket to hell...

The hell of unveiling horrible secrets. Not about the Chandler family. *About her own tortured childhood...*

Praise for Deanie Mills fifth book, Loser’s Weepers:
"Deanie Mills is Mary Higgins Clark with an *edge.* Her writing is swift, suspenseful, involving, and unpredictable." -- Dean Koontz

"Deanie Mills brings suspense and terror directly into the heart of every parent. If this chiller doesn't keep you on the edge of your chair, not much will!" -- John Saul

"Mills writes the kind of books that Alfred Hitchcock loved to film. She's very, very good." -- Mystery Scene

About the Author

I am the author of 10 suspense thrillers, including Ordeal and Tightrope, and one true-crime, Faces of Evil, (which I co-authored with Houston PD forensic sketch artist Lois Gibson.) My work has also appeared in numerous national magazines, and I am an experienced public speaker. I have led an unexpected life. Grew up in the city, but married a cowboy and moved to a remote west Texas ranch. Raised my two amazing children in the country with horses and dogs and cats and wild animals, but at the same time, traveled the country researching crime novels with law enforcement officers of all types. An independent and unabashed feminist who opposed the Iraq war, I still stayed married for more than 30 years to the same wonderful man and sent my son to fight with the Marines in Iraq twice. Both my kids are strong and independent too, and remain my biggest fans; they are the accomplishment of which I am most proud, even after publishing eleven books…and I'm still married to the same sexy cowboy.
