Synopsis

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.

Jaw dropping (spoilers) Even though I've read this account before, I'm still shocked by the outcome. I'm not convinced that Neal Henderson wasn't the brightest of his peers. If he thought everything through to the bitter end, well he'd be out in no time. Lo and behold, he is; as of February 2005 and......more

Goodreads review by Karen on June 19, 2020

If you want to know what happened in this true crime case, read Wikipedia. This was nothing more than a collection of every action, thought, word, etc. that the perpetrators and the police went through, line by line. There are no surprises, no suspense. You can figure out who did it pretty quickly a......more

Goodreads review by Ann on July 08, 2020

Two books in one or should have been. I did not like all the information about where the characters were born, when, and report cards from grade schools through high school. So much unnecessary background info... I am exhausted from turning back often to check if somehow I had lost my mind and downlo......more
