title: Unveiling Claudia: A True Story of Serial Murder
author:  Daniel Keyes 
description: Claudia Yasko, 26, confessed to a triple homicide in 1978three of ten Ohio murders attributed to the ".22 caliber" killers. Her confession was false and she was unknown by the two men later convicted of the crimes. Yasko, an attractive but mentally ill young woman, sought out Keyes to help tell her story. For, while no one believed her capable of murder, how did she happen to know so much about the crime scene? Keyes, who wrote about a multiple-personality criminal in The Minds of Billy Milligan ( LJ 10/1/81), spent two years unlocking Yasko's repressed memory and separating fantasy from reality. While not quite as intriguing as Billy Milligan , this is a masterfully told, absorbing story. Recommended for true crime and popular psychology collections. Gregor A.

   **Roll Over and Play Dead**
  
  When Claudia Connors returns from Vegas with her new husband in tow, Kate
  McCal and her friends in the tight-knit community of Serenity Cove are dying
  to meet the man she eloped with, the actor Lance Ledeaux. And Lance is every
  bit as handsome and charming as Claudia said, right up to the minute he
  persuades the Babes to take part in a play he’s written and starring in. But
  it’s not long before Kate discovers that the B-list actor’s real talent lies
  in frivolously squandering Claudia’s considerable nest egg.
  
  The tension is thick as rehearsals begin. When the prop gun turns out to be
  real and Lance is shot dead, al eyes turn to Claudia as the main suspect. With
  the local sheriff convinced of Claudia’s guilt and threatening to put her
  behind bars for life, it’s up to Kate and her friends to start digging for
  clues to find out who played the starring role in murder.
