Chaucer’s Books (3321 State Street, Santa Barbara) will host journalist Ivor Davis for a book talk and signing of his new true crime book “The Devil in my Friend” on Wednesday,June 26 at 6 p.m.
Book Description “The Devil in My Friend”
The Devil in My Friend—The Inside Story of A Malibu Murder is not just a story of crime and investigation; it is a profound examination of the human condition, the complexities of the heart, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. The book invites readers on a riveting journey through the veiled depths of a community’s soul, where the truth is as elusive as the ocean’s tide. This book seeks to understand the intricacies of human nature, the pain of loss, and the redemptive power of truth.
Ivor and Sally Davis were horrified when their Malibu neighbors, Verna Roehler and her son, died in a terrible boating accident. The nightmare only continued when her husband, their friend, Fred Roehler, was arrested and then convicted for their murder. As investigative journalists, they set out hoping to find Roehler innocent—instead, they found a viper’s nest of deceit and murder. Dive into the depths of The Devil in My Friend and emerge forever changed.
If you liked The Stranger Beside Me, this book is for you.
