Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read the first book on the Hawks murder and felt this was a story that should have been told in greater detail. More information was needed on Skylar Deleon and his wife Jennifer. With "Reckoning" you get it and more, and find yourself wondering: Was Skylar born a killer or made one? Would either of them have done something like this without ever meeting the other? These questions come up as you read the chilling and scary tale of the murder of one couple, by another couple -- for their boat and life savings. I guarantee you will not be able to put this book down. The author lays out the story in great detail and keeps you interested from start to finish. "Reckoning" plays out like a horror movie where you can't believe what is coming next.
Tom and Jackie Hawks have it all, a great marriage, a loving family and lots of friends - They worked hard and retired on the sea, living on their yacht and sailing to beautiful places. When their first grandchild arrives, they realize they want to stay close to their family so they decide to sell their yacht and buy a house. Enter the greedy Skylar and his misfit wife, Jennifer. Skylar and Jennifer want the boat but don't want to actually buy it. They want to steal it, and believe they can get away with it. A must read for any true crime fan and definately for the first time reader of the TC genre.

Happy and retired, Tom and Jackie Hawks lived a charmed life in sunny Southern California. They were delighted when former child star Skylar Deleon and his pregnant wife Jennifer offered cash to purchase their 55-ft yacht The Well Deserved. But a trial voyage turned into a nightmare. Out at sea, the Hawkses begged for their lives as they were forced to sign everything over to Skylar. In return, they were tied to the ship's anchor and thrown overboard - alive...Skylar and Jennifer's twisted story became even more shocking when Skylar's unusual sexual motivations were revealed in court. After killing a man while out of jail on work furlough, he hired hits from prison on four witnesses, including his father...For this former child actor, the answer to "where are they now?" is Death Row.
