1 ALL-AMERICAN MURDER Amber Hunt He seemed like the boy next door. Until the girl he loved ended up dead. The true story of two Virginia lacrosse players and a college romance turned fatal. Our most successful true crime books are those about truly sensational stories that appear on the front page of People and every supermarket tabloid. All-American Murder is one of them. Handsome, bright, and athletic, University of Virginia senior and lacrosse champion George Huguely V had it all until he snapped one evening in May and brutally attacked his ex-girlfriend, killing her just before they were to graduate. This tragic story has been widely covered in publications and on news shows including People magazine, Sports Illustrated, the New York Times, ABC, CBS, Fox, ESPN News, the Washington Post, and USA Today. Award-winning journalist Amber Hunt has spent more than a decade covering crime and breaking news and was the 2005 recipient of the Al Nakkula Award for Police Reporting, the only national award dedicated to crime coverage.
