Caught in the Act

We walked in on a surreal scene. There are few words, if any, to accurately describe the abject horror...

What Jeannie and Kevin McDonough saw was a wanted, multi-state serial killer about to take his next victim-their own daughter. What happened next was a thrilling true-crime story of a fight for justice and the harrowing struggle with the unexpected nightmare of "survivor guilt".Jeannie McDonough made national news when she and her husband rescued their 15-year-old daughter from a serial killer. Her experience is recorded in a book, Caught in the Act, cowritten with Paul Lonardo.

Paul Lonardo is an author of fiction and nonfiction. He is the coauthor of Caught in the Act: A Courageous Family’s Fight to Save Their Daughters from a Serial Killer and Thrill Killers: A True Story of Innocence and Murder Without Conscience. He lives in Lincoln, Rhode Island.
