A true story of desire and death
Can the female of the species really be deadlier than the male?
Liysa and Chris Northon seemed the perfect couple: Chris - tall, athletic and handsome, a pilot for Hawaiian Airlines; Liysa -attractive, seductive, an acclaimed surf photographer. Their son, Bjorn, looked just like his dad, and they were raising Liysa's son by a previous marriage. They had beautiful homes on the mainland and in Hawaii.
But soon after their idyllic marriage on a moonlit beach, Liysa revealed a rapacious side Chris had not seen before, and she complained to her closest friends that Chris was a heavy drinker who beat her. Chris struggled to keep the marriage from unravelling, but on a sunny morning in October 2000 he lay dead at a remote campsite. Liysa drove in distress to a friend's house. She appeared to have been attacked, but the Oregon State detectives were suspicious of her account and here Ann Rule unravels a bizarre story which is an extraordinary character study as well as a brilliant investigative report.
