     The Embrace: A True Vampire Story
     (Pocket Books; June 1, 1999)

The Embrace   On November 25, 1996, in their home in the lakeside community of Eustis, Florida, Rick and Ruth Wendorf were savagely beaten to death with a tire iron.  The Wendorf's new Ford Explorer was stolen, but this was no routine robbery gone bad.  This was a crime carried out by one Roderick Ferrell, a sixteen-year-old self-avowed Antichrist.  His human sacrifice was a testament to the unique and sinister bond of four brainwashed teens.  Heather Wendorf was a straight "A" student, a petite blonde with wide-set brown eyes.  Yet, she had been heard to wish her parents "off the face of the planet."  Heather never dreamed that when she joined her friends for a joyride one fall evening, her wish had already come true.

Including exclusive interviews with every living character involved in the case, The Embrace will forever change the way we look at one of the fastest-growing religious movements in the country, and its most vulnerable fold:  our children.

With an extraordinary talent for staring evil dead in the eye, The New York Times bestselling author and journalist Aphrodite Jones plunges readers into the front lines of a modern nightmare.
