One False Move (29 page)

Also in the summer of 1996, serial killer John Joubert was executed. Alex’s inspiration for
A Perfect Evil
was drawn from her experience while working at a small newspaper in the community where Joubert’s rampage had taken place in 1983. His execution reminded her of the terror and panic experienced, not only by that community, but by many parents across Nebraska.

Alex lives in Omaha, Nebraska, with her two dogs, Miss Molly and Scout.
