May 2002 – Stephanie Bennett has her whole life ahead of her – beautiful, talented and ambitious; she is loved by everyone who crosses her path.  But that life is cut short when someone rapes and strangles the 23-year-old inside her Raleigh, North Carolina apartment.

Critical DNA evidence is all over the crime scene, but investigators can’t find a match.  For years, they refuse to give up, pounding the pavement, knocking on doors and taking DNA samples from hundreds of men.

Fast forward to 2005 – someone gives detectives the name of a possible suspect. It’s their first big break in the case, but he’s on to them, and a cat-and-mouse game begins.

Evil Next Door, by veteran TV crime reporter Amanda Lamb, is the story of how aggressive detectives ultimately nab Stephanie’s killer – and as they begin to dig deeper into the bizarre suspect’s past, they are met with even more horror.  It's a gripping page-turner from beginning to end.
