An unexplained disappearance spirals into an unrelenting murder mystery.

In October 2014, local Michigan police chief Laura Frizzo faced a perplexing missing-person case. It was not like Chris Regan, a devoted father and dependable employee, to take off without explanation. When Frizzo learned Chris was having an affair with Kelly Cochran, a married co-worker, suspicion fell on Kelly's hulking husband, Jason. Soon after that the Cochrans abruptly moved to Indiana.

Sixteen months later, Jason Cochran died from a drug overdose. Friends and family rallied around the grieving Kelly. But when the coroner ruled Jason's death a homicide, no one reacted more bizarrely than his widow. Detectives tried to put Kelly's past into focus. But the horrific truth was hidden under a near-perfect patchwork of lies. Veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps expertly reveals Kelly Cochran's staggering saga of murder, revenge, and payback.

      Phelps (The Killing Kind) takes up the convoluted tale of the investigation into the disappearance of small-town Michigan resident Chris Regan, revealing tensions between state and local investigators, neighbors, and spouses. In this true-crime story, Police Chief Laura Frizzo, from Iron River, MI, and Det. Jeremy Odgen from Hobart, IN, eventually unravel Regan's disappearance and murder by his coworker Kelly Cochran and her husband, Jason, who also ends up dead by his wife's hands. Phelps chronicles Cochran's many versions and explanations of the crime, complete with her confessing several times to as many as 20 other killings and the cannibalization of Regan's corpse. Phelps's writing conveys the many frustrating dead ends that Frizzo and Ogden run into in the course of investigating the heinous crime. Was Cochran really a serial killer? It's hard to decipher her and Jason's many lies. Phelps's Fargo-esque tale of sex, lies, and homicide in a small town is replete with lying suspects, reluctant witnesses, spooked neighbors, and reports of weird smells. VERDICT Recommended for true crime fans.--Amelia Osterud, Milwaukee P.L.
