The Devil's Work - Softcover

"I love you and I'm going to bed", were the last words Elyse Pahler ever said to her parents. Little did she know that she was about to begin a waking nightmare that would end in her grisly murder. Later that night, Elyse slipped out of her parents' house for a bit of forbidden fun. She never suspected that three local boys - two of whom took the school bus with her - were outside in the dark waiting to perform a human sacrifice in the name of Satan. Prosecutors say the three boys dragged a terrified Elyse to a deserted area they believed was the devil's alter, where, after being drugged, tortured and raped, she died of multiple stab wounds. For eight months, Elyse's body lay hidden in a eucalyptus grove until an unexpected tip to police revealed the ghastly crime. "The Devil's Work" is an unthinkable tragedy, a horrifying voyage into the deepest evil imaginable.
