Well this story was totally crazy! Especially since all that happened in it was real, though pretty long ago! The author did a good job of adding all the details (though he did mention in the afterword that he did change some names and descriptions to protect those who had been affected by that crazy year) while still making it a very interesting read.
It is amazing what lengths a person like Howard will go to when he thinks he has been wronged (not to mention his prior history of what he did to people who got on his bad side). Howard was definitely a poison that hurt many people when he set his revenge/murder plans into action. I would most definitely not want a guy like him after me! I must admit though, it was kind of funny to read about the foiled attempts at killing Richard. And I really felt sorry for Jerry, who was duped/blackmailed by both Richard and Howard and how that changed the rest of his life.
Good story.
