*From a pair ofÂ *New York TimesÂ *bestselling authors with unparalleled access comes an in-depth account of the manhunt forÂ Joran van der Sloot, one of the most reviled accused criminals in the world*

Â 

In May 2005, Natalee Holloway disappeared from a high school trip toÂ Aruba. Five years to the day later, twenty-one-year-oldÂ StephanyÂ FloresÂ was reported missing inÂ Lima,Â Peru. Implicated in both crimes was one young man:Â JoranÂ van der Sloot.

A twenty-three-year-old Dutchman,Â Van der SlootÂ has become the subject of intense scrutiny by the media and the public in the years since 2005. He was arrested and detained by Aruban authorities in connection with theÂ HollowayÂ disappearance, only to be released after questioning. In 2008, during a Dutch sting operation, he admitted to being present forÂ Hollowayâ€™s death---but later recanted his statement.

In 2010, on the five-year anniversary of her disappearance, a young business student inÂ PeruÂ namedÂ StephanyÂ FloresÂ disappeared, only to be found dead three days later in a hotel room---registered toÂ Van der Sloot. He was arrested for the murder and confessed, but he later claimed he was coerced.
