Overview
From the New York Times bestselling author of Bitter Blood comes the story of a greed so powerful it led to an unspeakable crime. Wealthy Lieth von Stein lay dead and his wife Bonnie near death in their North Carolina home after a vicious assault with knife and baseball bat as they slept. The crime seemed totally baffling until police followed a trail that led to the charming von Stein stepson, Chris Pritchard, and his brilliant, drug-using, Dungeons-&-Dragons playing friends at N.C. State University. Blood Games is the shattering true story of degraded young minds--and a son's gruesome greed turned horrifyingly real. Jerry Bledsoe masterfully reconstructs the bloody crime and its aftermath, as he takes us on a riveting journey into the secret twisted hearts of three young murderers. "Haunting... addictive, chilling and a masterpiece of reportage... powerfully demonstrates that every heart is capable of darkness." --Patricia Cornwell "A powerful account... Mr. Bledsoe goes straight to the bigger issues." --New York Times Book Review "In Mr. Bledsoe's hands, a mega-load of inert facts becomes a human story of hurricane force." --Raleigh News & Observer "Devastating... a brilliant account." --Publishers Weekly
