Runaway Devil - Robert Remington & Sherri Zickefoose

Runaway Devil
Robert Remington & Sherri Zickefoose

McLelland & Stewart

Mark and Debra seemed to have it all - a lovely home in the prairie town of Medicine Hat, fulfilling careers, a supportive marriage, and two beautiful children: eight-year-old Jacob and twelve-year-old J.R. But on April 23, 2006, Mark and Debra's bodies were discovered in their basement, covered in savage stab wounds. Upstairs, Jacob lay dead in his bed, his toys spattered with blood. In 'Runaway Devil', journalists ______ reveal what really happened: the unlikely young love between J.R. and twenty-three-year-old drop-out Jeremy Steinke. the teenage rebellion, the goth subculture, a troubling world of adolescent drifters, and a small community torn apart by an unthinkable crime. This is the horrifying story of how an innocent schoolgirl became Canada's youngest multiple killer.



 Derrick Carew chose a non-fiction account of the murders of three members of a family in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

The book was purchased thanks to the generosity of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
