Casper, Wyoming: 1973. Eleven-year-old Amy Burridge rides with her 18-year-old sister, Becky, to the grocery store. When they finish their shopping, Becky's car gets a set car tire. Two men politely offer them a drive home. Yet they were anything but good Samaritans. The girls would put up with unspeakable crimes as a result of these men before being tossed from a bridge in to the North Platte River. One miraculously survived; the other did not. Years later publisher and journalist Ron Franscell - a childhood good friend and next-door neighbor to girls - can't ignore his hometown's surprising report of abduction, rape, and murder. Discovering the nature of a tiny town's memory and the poison of survivor guilt, The Darkest Evening races toward a surprising ending. The effect is one of the most provocative true-crime reports of the 10 years, advised by one of the nation's finest narrative journalists.
