{"product_id":"kill-brother-kill-sister-9781684922383","title":"Kill Brother Kill Sister","description":"Alaska Airline Captain Robert Pfeil was the scion of an Alaskan pioneer family. His sister Muriel was a winner in her own right. Owner of Alaska's most successful travel agency, routinely voted one of the best dressed women in Anchorage, she was worldly in a city better known for its sourdoughs and roughnecks. On September 30, 1976, a vehicle explosion rocked downtown Anchorage. When the dust settled, Muriel Pfeil was trapped in the driver's seat. Dead. Her brother immediately blamed Neil Mackay, Muriel's estranged ex-husband-a multi-millionaire lawyer and real estate mogul. Robert Pfeil knew the motive: Mackay wanted custody of the couple's only son, three-year-old Scotty. Pfeil acted quickly, snatching up Scotty, intent on spiriting him away from his reclusive father. That worked for a while. After young Scotty was kidnapped by his father, however, Robert Pfeil led a global chase to retrieve him. A chase that ultimately ended with Robert Pfeil's tragic death at the hands of contract killers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHale, Leland E.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \"Leland E. Hale \"backed into\" the true crime genre when he joined Maj. Walter Gilmour to write Butcher, Baker, a bestselling true crime work about Alaska serial killer Robert C. Hansen. Always the \"writer guy,\" Hale did his first poetry reading at age eleven; he placed third in a regional poetry contest at the tender age of eighteen. After securing his undergraduate degree, he became a ghostwriter - which he now characterizes as his \"devil's apprenticeship.\" Soon thereafter, he took a job at a Washington State agency that once employed serial killer Ted Bundy. It was just a coincidence. Taking his next job at a trade association, he was called upon to testify before a U.S. Congressional committee chaired by the legendary Rep. John Dingell (MI). Later, Mr. Hale edited a U.S. Atomic Energy Agency volume on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. Upon earning a master's degree at the University of Washington School of Engineering, he took a job at The Boeing Company, followed by a decade at Microsoft. That said, true crime is his true passion. He is presently in his happiest place.\"","brand":"Epicenter Press (WA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51603109871890,"sku":"9781684922383","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_5d909183-7876-4fa0-8179-c604c1d7c0bf.jpg?v=1757425002","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/kill-brother-kill-sister-9781684922383","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
