Synopsis

A Defiled Body

On January 11, 1995, deputies outside Austin, Texas, found a mutilated body laid across a cold campfire—head destroyed, hands cut off, skin singed by fire. In less than three days, they had the kill zone: a small apartment, where shy Christopher Hatton was shot at point blank range in his bed.

The Stripper And The Loser

Stephanie Lynn Martin, despite her devout Southern Baptist upbringing, was reborn as a sultry stripper and calendar girl. William M. Busenburg was a good-looking wannabe living his own lies. They came together in an explosion of violence and sex. Then they decided there was only one thing missing from their romance: murder.

The Thrill Of The Kill

But within days, they were under arrest and savvy prosecutors learned the ugly truth behind the senseless slaughter of Busenburg's friend. How twisted fantasies of murder fueled the couple's lust and led to the unspeakable crime. And how they both tried to cover up their heinous deed . . . until they finally ran out of lies.

Goodreads review by Tom on November 24, 2023

A fascinating examination of a murder and attempted corpse burning that involves a deluded stripper and a man passing himself off as a CIA asset. He sold her out testifying her to be the shooter and weirdly bloodthirsty with cult connections. From imprisonment, she paints a picture of a bedazzled ac......more

Goodreads review by Kim on March 26, 2025

This book overpromised and disappointed in the end. So much of this is pulled from transcripts of proceedings and police interviews that it is hard to get through. In addition, the he said-she said thing gets repetitive. I do appreciate that they didn’t paint the victim of this case as being perfect......more

Goodreads review by Karen on January 21, 2019

Chris Hatton was not a nice guy: a liar, a cheat, took the easy way out, falsified documents, lazy & swallowed up by his own incompetence to finish anything he ever started; succumbed to the alcoholism that plagued his family & was overall a selfish person but with all that, he still did not deserve......more
