Seeds of Evil by Carlton Smith

Seeds of Evil tells the story of a young man named Dana, so obsessed with his family's fortune, that he was willing to get rid of them to inherit it. If that was not bad enough, Dana attempted to make the murder look like a robbery-gone-bad.

Trouble was, Dana wasn't too clued up on robberies and left plenty of valuables were left behind, such as guns, money, jewelry, and so on.

Assuming that he would get away with the perfect crime, he soon discovers that it has backfired.

Not only do the police suspect him, but they are hot on his trail. They have his pager and cellular phone cloned as well as the local payphone tapped.

Dana thought he had them fooled. In order to make himself look as though he had nothing to do with the crime, he kept a receipt for a card and some candy that he had bought from a grocery store that he paid with his Amex card, to form a paper trail. But the detectives were immediately suspicious...Who keeps receipts for a $2.00+ candy purchase?

But Dana's not the only one involved here... Smith describes the two suspects well and details their relationship and activities following the murders. The perfect crime was far from perfect, and Seeds of Evil details how the police were able to prove their case, step by step.

An interesting read, well worth a look.
