A True Story of Erotic Obsession, Revenge and Murder.
When blonde, beautiful Sheila Bellush first met Allen Blackthorne, it seemed as if she had found her soul mate. But instead, their marriage took her into a world of lies, scams and sexual deviancy. When she finally fled him with her two tiny daughters, she was skeletally thin, bruised and beaten.
Although she recovered and eventually remarried, Blackthorne still figuratively monitored the beat of Sheila's heart, the air she breathed. Pregnant with quadruplets, Bellush carried them proudly as she and her family tried to disappear. But Blackthorne's millions and his power enabled him to find Sheila. And a killer found her as well, and left her in a pool of blood, marked by four sets of tiny footprints.
Could the Sarasota detectives, Texas rangers, FBI and the federal prosecutors link Blackthorne himself to Sheila's death? In 'Every Breath You Take', Ann Rule untangles the horrific web of lies that led to Blackthorne stalking and tormenting his ex-wife for a decade, before finally ordering her death.
