#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

ANN RULE

EVERY BREATH

YOU TAKE

A TRUE STORY OF OBSESSION,

REVENGE, AND MURDER

史上唯一受害者生前指名作者撰寫

用以沉冤昭雪的刑案紀錄

本書為美國知名凶殺案專欄作家安．魯爾執筆以來，所接過最為奇怪的要求。由凶殺案被害者希拉．貝盧許生前請求其胞姊，「答應我，如果有一天我突然消失，一定代我找到安．魯爾，請她撰書將我的故事公諸於世。」

鑒於死者前夫艾倫．布萊克索恩其跟蹤與控制慾以及作案過程，安．魯爾特意挑選「警察合唱團」（The Police）知名代表作〈妳的氣息〉（Every Breath You Take）作為本書的書名。諷刺的是，本該是濃情蜜意的情歌，因其寓意模稜兩可的歌詞，套用在這樁駭人聽聞的兇殺案，竟如此切合。多年後，史汀談到當年歌曲創作過程，「歌曲聽起來像是一首舒適愜意的情歌，當下我並不瞭解歌詞聽來有多邪惡。猜想我當時腦袋裡正想著老大哥、監視與控制。」本書諸多巧合，如今看來令人不勝唏噓。

America's #1 true-crime writer fulfills a murder victim's desperate plea with this shattering New York Times bestseller.

"Promise me . . . that if I'm not here, you will find Ann Rule and have her write my story."

In perhaps the first true-crime book written at the victim's request, Ann Rule untangles a web of lies and brutality that culminated in the murder of Sheila Blackthorne Bellush—a woman Rule never met, but whose shocking story she now chronicles with compassion, exacting detail, and unvarnished candor.

Although happily ensconced in a loving second marriage, and a new family of quadruplets, Sheila never truly escaped the vicious enslavement of her ex-husband, multi-millionaire Allen Blackthorne, a handsome charmer— and a violent, controlling sociopath who subjected Sheila to unthinkable abuse in their marriage, and terrorized her for a decade after their divorce. When Sheila was slain in her home, in the presence of her four toddlers, authorities raced to link the crime to Blackthorne, the man who vowed to monitor Sheila's every move in his obsessive quest for power and revenge.
