Summary

An explosive account of lethal greed and twisted desire from the files of America's #1 true crime writer, Ann Rule. 
 
They were best friends, four talented and charismatic young men who lived charmed lives among the evergreens of Washington state: Kevin, the artist; Steve, the sculptor; Scott, the nature lover and unabashed ladies' man; and Mark, the musician and poet. With their stunning good looks, whip-sharp minds, athletic bodies-and no lack of women who adored them-none of them seemed slated for disaster. 
 
But few knew the reality behind the leafy screen that surrounded Seven Cedars, Scott's woodland dream home-a tree house equipped with every luxury. From this idyllic enclave, some of these trusted friends would become the quarry for a vigilant Seattle police detective and an FBI special agent, who unmasked clues to disturbing secrets that spawned murder, suicide, million-dollar bank robberies, drug-dealing, and heartbreaking betrayal. When the end came in a violent stand-off, the ringleader of the foursome-the fugitive dubbed "Hollywood" for his ingenious disguises and flawless getaways; the persuasive talker who turned his friends into accomplices-faced a final chapter no one could have predicted. In a blast of automatic gunfire, the highest and lowest motives of the human heart were, at last, revealed. 
 
Along with two other true-crime tales,The End of the Dream is a masterful and compelling tour of the criminal mind from Ann Rule.
