About this audiobook

“A great true crime story…Readers will feel the effects of Phelps’ skill from beginning to end.” - Stephen Singular

Big and brash, Jeff Zack didn’t hide his rough lifestyle. And when he died, it was in plain sight: executed in the parking lot of a BJ’s Wholesale Club in Akron, Ohio, by a motorcycle-riding assassin dressed in black.

“Phelps uses a unique combination of investigative skills and narrative insight to give readers an exclusive, insider’s look.” - Anne Bremner

Jeff Zack’s murder stunned investigators - but then, so did his life. A long list of people might have had reasons to want Zack dead, including the loyal wife he had humiliated and the wealthy nightclub owner whose wife - a blond, hard-bodied beauty queen - he openly dated. But the truth would get even stranger…

“Phelps is a first-rate investigator.” - Dr. Michael M. Baden

In this shocking true story of adultery, mind games, lies, wealth and sexual liaisons in upscale Middle America, true-crime master M. William Phelps tells the astounding story of a man who loved the wrong woman - and was brutally murdered by a killer with the deadliest possible motive of all…

    I thought it dragged,too many words. Great example of how how the law is so unjust.

    Good writing, but the story just didn't grab me. Ended up returning it 25% of the way through.

    Well researched with much detail of the murder of Jeff Zack.. not a very well liked man. This made it extra difficult to solve the murder. The day to day investigation by the police was very interesting. I read lots of true crime and this is a good one.

    This book was well researched and the case well portrayed. It is depressing to think of what the Zack family went through. This is a great read of the true crime genre.

    5/5
    Very much step by step of police procedures, day by day of their activities and their thoughts. At times, it got to be a little too detail oriented. I recall watching this on Dateline, and the book clearly adds a lot more details of what happened behind the scenes. It did get a bit confusing at times though, which is why the 4 1/2 stars.
