title: Badge of Betrayal: The Devastating True Story of a Rogue Cop Turned Murderer
author:  Joe Cantlupe 
description: Cara Knott was the archetypal All-American girl: at the age of 20, she was blonde, beautiful and in love. Craig Peyer was a by-the-book California Highway Patrol cop. After pulling Cara off a highway on the day after Christmas, 1986, Peyer murdered her. The resulting investigation, arrest and two trials (the first ended in a hung jury, the second in a conviction)p. 198 made headlines throughout the country. In their first book, the authors, reporters for the San Diego Union, portray Cara as almost too nice to be true, detail the criminal investigation and the trial machinations extensively, and reveal the innermost thoughts of the victim's family. But Peyer remains a mystery man; the authors fail to present any motive for the murder. Peyer had many times previously pulled young women off the road to a secluded spot, but why he killed Cara is never learned. Marjorie Huntington, a probation officer who interviewed Peyer, claimed he was bored and offers simply that "their fates became intermeshed," but that is far from the closure most readers would like.

  gun to Braydon. Richie should hate the cop, too. But did Cannon have to be so damn sexy? That made it 
  hard to hate the guy, and even harder to resist him. 
  For the first time since Cannon could recall, he’s on vacation. Instead of going to see his father, he steered 
  his Jeep toward Maple Grove. As if he hadn’t had enough of the town in his last visit. But he knew he’d 
  made the right call when he ran into his mate, which happened to be the brother of the man who hated 
  him. Cannon is determined to win Richie over, but fate has other plans. One of the corrupt cops he put 
  away has
