Spicer, Jr. Senior Editor, St. Martin's True Crime Library. SYNOPSIS: THREE INNOCENT TOURISTS For pretty Ohioan Joan Rogers and her two teenaged daughters, a Florida sunset cruise was a dream come true. And even though all three were desperately afraid of the water, they were so taken with friendly boat owner Oba Chandler that they gladly accepted a ride with him on beautiful Tampa Bay. A DEADLY CHARMER Little did the naïve mom and two daughters know that behind Chandler's mask of gracious host lurked a daring and ruthless ex-con, a thief and a liar, a seductive Don Juan who used and discarded wives and children. As the sun serenely sank below the Gulf of Mexico, Chandler suddenly shut down the engines, dropped anchor...and turned into a sadistic torturer. A ONE-WAY TICKET TO TERROR AND DEATH Hog-tying and brutally raping all three, Chandler tossed them overboard--alive--with 40-pound cement blocks tied to their necks. With cruel laughter, he spoke his last words to them: "Swim for it." But the dark green waters of Tampa Bay refused to hold his monstrous secret, and after only three days, the bodies of his victims surfaced. If it hadn't been for a dedicated team of detectives and the clues provided by Chandler's neighbors, a depraved killer might have gotten away with his ghastly crime. Instead, he now paces the floors of a Florida prison awaiting his rendezvous with the electric chair.
