Love, Daddy

The chilling crimes of family mass murderer and con man Christian Longo, from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Prom Night Murders.

Shortly before Christmas of 2001, the bodies of Mary Jane Longo and her three young children, Zachary, Sadie Ann, and Madison were discovered. They'd been murdered and dumped off the Oregon coast in Yaquina and Alsea Bay. The youngest victim was only two years old. Their father, Christian Longo, was missing.

Within days, the twenty-seven-year-old all-American dad was added to the FBI's list of Ten Most Wanted fugitives. As law enforcement officials scoured northern California in pursuit of the suspected family-killer, Longo was already looking for a new job—and a new life—under a new name. Believed to be skilled in identity theft, Christian Longo was on the run. Now investigative reporter Carlton Smith takes a journey into the heart of darkness—from Longo's masquerade as a devoted family man and finally to his capture at a beach camp in Mexico—to uncover the unfathomable trail of a deadly master of deception.
