Bradford Bishop had it all: a beautiful wife, three towhead sons, a nice home in a quiet Maryland suburb, and a promising career in the US State Department. But on March 1, 1976, he threw it all away. After finding out he'd been passed over for a promotion, Bishop snapped. He went home and, in an act of unspeakable brutality, murdered his wife, his three boys, and his own mother - five people in all. Then he vanished off the face of the Earth. Or so it seemed.

Almost 40 years later, Peter Ross Range (author of the best-selling Murder in the Yoga Store) delivers the definitive story of Bishop's life and crime, following the trail from his privileged upbringing in California to his wily escape, including never-before reported details and chilling theories as to where he might be today.

This book was informative and to the point without repeating itself like some others do in order to make them last longer.
The crime was saddeningly horrific.

Well told and informed. I was actually at school with the oldest son Brad in Botswana in the 70s and remember him as a popular boy who was a keen horseman. Tragic loss

I just can't understand how anyone can harm those who love them. Such a horrible thing to happen to that poor family. I hope he is caught but also think he may not be alive anymore. How could you do something like that and live with yourself. Very well researched, written & narrated.

Such a terribly sad thing to happen.
