SynopsisSean Goff was a dynamic Pentecostal minister who was already running his own church by the age of twenty-two. He had wed a pliable teenager and bent her to his will, eventually convincing her to agree to his secretly taking a second wife named Joy. Although at first the clandestine arrangement worked well, problems soon began to surface. Leif Wright, Sean's friend and co-worker, confronted Sean about his hidden polygamous lifestyle, which threatened to scandalize their employer, a world-famous televangelist. Sean's foray into polygamy led to his association with an online community where he earned respect by dispensing advice to other evangelical polygamists. He derided divorce as the sign of a weak man who didn't know how to lead his women. It was especially troublesome to Sean when Joy hinted that she wasn't happy and wanted to have a meaningful career. Then Joy suddenly disappeared, although friends continued to receive her e-mails. The messages seemed strange, and some wondered whether she was really traveling around Europe. Leif Wright takes his readers into the mind of a ruthless, controlling killer in this straight-from-the-headlines true crime saga, leaving us all to question just how well any of us really knows our neighbors, friends and spouses., Leif Wright knew Sean Goff for 16 years and never had any indication that Sean might be a sociopath until he was subpoenaed to testify against him. As Leif approached the witness stand, Sean smiled at him and winked. It was then that Leif discovered, as discerning and intelligent as he might think he was, Sean had completely fooled him throughout their long friendship. Leif's best friend was a cold-blooded killer, and he had unknowingly helped Sean think of ways to try to get away with his sadistic crime. Deadly Vows is a true story of betrayal and the murder of Joy Risker, whose mutilated remains were found buried beneath a stack of lava rocks. Her fingertips had been severed, her teeth sawed out and her face smashed with a blunt object. Just who is the real Sean Goff -- a powerful, engaging man of God or a brutal psychopath and polygamist? Best friend and accomplished journalist Leif M. Wright takes readers into the mind of the killer in this horrifying, straight-from-the-headlines true crime saga, leaving all to question just how well any of us really knows our neighbors, friends and spouses.
