One Dark Night - Harry Starke Genesis Blair Howard

The were just a couple of kids. What did they know? Why did they have to die?

One dark night in late summer of 1998, teenagers Hunter Flagg and Samantha Goodkind were murdered, shot to death in Hunter's pickup. The killer stripped the bodies and left them together in a remote, wooded area on the riverbank just off Sailmaker Circle. Neither of the two high school seniors had been sexually assaulted. So why had they been stripped? Though Hunter came from a poor family and Samantha was the daughter of a local businessman, both were popular kids; Sam was a cheerleader. So why did they have to die. Who was the killer. Most people who knew the kids thought they knew, but charges were never made. And then, one bright morning, 14 years later in 2010, while they were playing golf, ADA Larry Spruce asked his friend PI Harry Starke to take another look at the case. Harry agreed...

Now we all know that Harry loves a cold case, but this one quickly turned into a basket of snakes. Nothing was as it seemed. The number of questions continued to grow while answers remained few. It would take all of Harry's considerable skills and the help of his entire team to solve the case... But could he?
