Sacrifice: A Father's Determination to Turn Evil Into Good - The Drug Cult Murder of Mark Kilroy at Matamoros

When "spring breaker" Mark Kilroy disappeared just south of the U.S.-Mexico border in April 1989, local authorities reasoned he would turn up with 48 hours. But four weeks later, as the first of thirteen graves was unearthed on a ranch outside Matamoros, Mexico, the world discovered that the affable, 21-year-old college student was one of several human sacrifices!

This book recounts the events that transformed a typical missing person investigation into the break-up of a drug cult. From the determined efforts of authorities to the love of a unique family that has since started the Mark Kilroy Foundation to fight drug abuse, Sacrifice is a taut, behind-the-scenes look into one of 1989's most harrowing news events. Frank, electrifying, and painfully true, this is an authentic account of what can transpire uncomfortably close to home.
