title: Under Cover of the Night: A True Story of Sex, Greed and Murder
author:  Diane Fanning 
description: <b>Praise for Diane Fanning:</b><br /><br />Very few writers have the insight and gift to take a true story and make it one hell of a page-turner. In my opinion, Diane Fanning does just that in <i>A Poisoned Passion</i>.Susan Murphy Milano, domestic violence victims advocate<br /><br />Author Diane Fanning tirelessly recounts the young womans lying ways, theorizes how Anthony might have disposed of her daughter, and concludes that Anthony is an individual whose self-absorption and insensitivity to others is a destructive force.'<i>Orlando Sentinel</i><br /><br />Im sitting on a couch in our newsroom, pouring through the advance copy of your book. Unbelievable stuff!Mike DeForest, WKMG-TV, on <i>Mommys Little Girl</i><br /><br />I couldnt put it down until I had finished it. Im amazed at how much research you had to have done, and for the parts I actually knew about, the accuracy was more than I could have expected. I have to tell my friends that if they read this book, they will be able to experience everything that I did, just as if they had experienced it themselves. Im a reader and have read many books and still do, but Im still surprised at how well you wove everything into a story thats enjoyable to read and accurate to detail.Herb Betz on <i>Through the Window</i><br /><br />I was astonished by how good this book wasinsightful, well written, and fascinating.Hugh Aynesworth, four-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, on <i>Out There</i><br /><br />With the publication of Diane Fannings book, <i>Written in Blood</i>, the official record is now complete. Fanning provides a full account of the epic Peterson murder mystery. Her writing is superb. Most importantly, Diane Fanning has written a true crime book focused more on the truth than on the crime, and in that sense, her work honors the spirit of the victim, Kathleen Hunt Atwater.Vance Holmes

  Bertha Brannon is a lawyer who takes care of her grandmother and is usually
  broke because the work she often takes is pro bono or sliding scale for the
  domestic violence shelter or the public defender for juvenile cases. She has
  eighteen months of sobriety from a cocaine addiction. Late Friday afternoon,
  she’s looking forward to a long and peaceful weekend, when a woman comes into
  her office who wants to retain her for a murder she hasn’t yet committed.
  Bertha needs the rent money. Thus begins a living roller-coaster ride that
  includes betrayal, arson, and murder. While making trips back to the drug-
  using haunts, Bertha meets a police woman who wants her, but she’s not sure
  for what. Is it just sex or is there something more?
