We all savor a good mystery, whether in print or on the screen. "Torn Apart" blends a passionate forbidden affair, dual murder, unforgettable suspects, and a gritty lovalbe detective; culminating with a shocking twist. The overwhelmingly gorgeous 18 year-old college freshman Linda Parent and her date for their recent high school prom, Jonnie Henderson, are reported missing on December 13, 1986. Six weeks after, they are found dead on the University of Massachusetts campus in Amherst. Linda was strangled. Jonnie's cause of death is undetermined. Was his death a suicide or homicide? His wrists were slashed, yet the back of his skull revealed a deep indentation and contusiion. Veteran homicide detective Leo Dunleavy, respected by his peers for uncovering the truth, is assigned the case. Detective Dunleavy suspects a third party responsible for Linda and Jonnie's deaths. The case is offically closed as a murder - suicide when public outcry and unrest prevail. Undaunted Dunleavy keeps the investigation alive. Follow the trail with him and be prepared for a riveting, spine-chilling climax.
