"In September of 1990\, in the Cleveland s uburb of Shaker Heights\, sixteen-year-old Lisa Pruett was on her way to a midnight tryst with her boyfriend when she was viciously stabbed to death only thirty feet from the boy's home. The murder cast a palpable gloom ov er the upscale community and sparked accusations\, theories\, and rumors a mong Lisa's friends and peers. Together they wove a damning narrative that circled back to a likely suspect: "weird" high school outcast Kevin Young . Without a shred of evidence the teen was arrested\, charged\, and tried for the crime. His eventual acquittal didn't diminish the anger and outrag e among those who believed that Kevin got away with murder. With a fresh p erspective and painstaking research culled from police files\, court recor ds\, transcripts\, uncollected evidence\, and new interviews\, James Renne r reconstructs the events leading up to and following that heartbreaking n ight. What emerges is a portrait of a community seething with dark undercu rrents--its single-minded authorities\, protective status-conscious parent s\, and the deeply peer-pressured teen within Lisa's circle. Who had the c apacity for such unchecked violence? What monsters still lurk in the dark? After more than thirty years\, questions like these continue to fester am ong the community of Shaker Heights\, Ohio\, still deeply scarred by wound s that remain hidden\, unspoken\, and unhealed."
