A Preponderance of Evil

When 10-year-old Zachary Ramsay disappeared on his way to school in Great Falls, Montana, police investigated all possible leads to find him. One name on a list of suspects rose to the top: Nathaniel Bar-Jonah (born David Paul Brown.) Convicted of abduction, child molestation and attempted murder in Massachusetts, Bar-Jonah's crimes against children had escalated when he moved to the Big Sky State. It was only after the FBI decoded his cryptic writings that law enforcement officers discovered what may be the horrifying truth about the day Zach vanished.

In her first foray into the true crime genre, novelist/journalist Lauri Olsen explores the depths of darkness surrounding sexual predators in a powerful, gripping account.
