- About Me:
- I am a Pulitzer-nominated investigative reporter-turned-author of four crime books and co-author of another. Four of them are in bookstores now and one comes out later this year. You can read a sample chapter -- or click through to order on Amazon -- at my Web site, http://www.caitlinrother.com.
The novel, NAKED ADDICTION, tells a story about sex, drugs and murder at the beach in San Diego. Detective Ken Goode, an undercover narcotics detective who wants a transfer to homicide, is investigating a series of murders of attractive young beauty school students when his own sister goes missing.
The others, for those of you who read true crime, are POISONED LOVE, TWISTED TRIANGLE, BODY PARTS and WHERE HOPE BEGINS, which comes out in September. I am now working on my sixth book about the murder of Tom and Jackie Hawks by a crew of outlaws led by Skylar and Jennifer Deleon. Skylar and two other men tied the Hawkses to an anchor and threw them over the side of their yacht near Newport Beach, California -- alive.
BODY PARTS, which just came out, takes a deep psychological look at serial killer Wayne Adam Ford, who killed four women, dismembered two of them, and then did the rare deed of turning himself to stop from killing again. When he walked into the Humboldt County sheriff's station, he had a severed breast of his latest victim in his pocket.
TWISTED TRIANGLE, which just came out in paperback, is the crazy but factual account of a kidnapping, an attempted murder and a love triangle between two married FBI agents, Margo and Gene Bennett, and famous crime novelist Patricia Cornwell.
WHERE HOPE BEGINS, which I co-authored with TV reporter Alysia Sofios, is a memoir of Sofios and members of the Marcus Wesson family. Sofios put her entire career on the line by secretly taking in several female surviving family members of Marcus Wesson, who orchestrated the murder of nine of his own children within a cult atmostphere of incest, polygamy, religious fanatisicm and abuse. It comes out in September 2009.
POISONED LOVE is the true story of Kristin Rossum, an attractive and talented toxicologist convicted of poisoning her husband with drugs she stole from her lab at the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office. Rossum, who had been having an affair with her married boss, claimed her husband, Greg de Villers, had sprinkled red rose petals over his own body and committed suicide because she was leaving him. Available now.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
