I am the author. Don't buy this book. The publisher butchered the manuscript and it does not make sense. If you're a fan of O'Neil De Noux, get his fiction. It's a lot better.

THE BOOK WAS SO TRUE TO THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED. I HAVE THE NEWSPAPERS OF THE EVENT AT THE TIME IT ALL HAPPENED. WHEN THE BOOK WAS PRINTED THE LADY'S MOTHER,[MS. WALTERS]WOULD NOT LET THEM BE SOLD IN MS. YES I KNEW THE FAMILY THAT WAS PART OF IT.ITS A SHAME THEY ARE STILL IN JAIL. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN BURIED UNDER FOR WHAT THEY DID TO HER. THE AUTHOR DID NOT LEAVE ONE STONE UNCOVERED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. IT WAS A SHAME THAT THE MOTHERS BOYFRIEND HAD TO GO THRU WHAT THEY PUT HIM THRU, SAYING HE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. THE BOOK WILL REALLY MAKE YOUR HAIRS STAND ON END. THE PICTURES ARE GROSS BUT SO TRUE. IF YOU WANT TO READ A VERY TRUE STORY THEN THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU, {IF YOU CAN STAND THE SINKNESS THEY PUT THAT CHILD THRU].

As you can see my sister Jodee doesn't think this book does any good. Well, she is right about one thing, he didn't have the right to exploit our family, he could have at least changed the names, or asked for our promission, or acted like he gave a damn about the family during this terrible time. However, he has shown the world the monsters are out of the closet and out from under the bed. The man who confessed to my sister's murder is now recanting. I am but and child of God and will not say what is to come of this man. But for all of you parents who only take there eye's off of their child for "one second", for those who let their children run freely around shopping centers, ( i.e. Wal-Mart, grocery stores, or malls) this could happen to you. You love your child more than life it self. That is how these people feel about killing, raping, molesting, etc... The fact is you can't trust anyone, anywhere at anytime. Keep your children safe and be aware of what is going on around you. Learn from others mistakes.

I give this book a Black Hole rating and here's why. Even a single star emits light; with this work, O'Neil De Noux bends time, space and reality as we know it such that the reader is left groping in the dark praying for a quick end. Specific Intent is an attempt to tell the tragic but true story of a young girl's murder and the subsequent arrest and prosecution of a couple from Louisiana. Newspapers and television, in and around New Orleans, covered this story extensively during the Summer and Fall of 1985 and it is infamous in that area. Unfortunately, the book does nothing to examine the many conflicting reports that swirled around the suspects at the time but instead weaves a tangled web of lurid details and bizarre theories such that the reader is left ensnared and depleated. De Noux makes much of his inside sources and police connections. He attempts to shore up his rickety construction but, by the end of the book, one is painfully aware that the author is but a shill for the broken system which he celebrates.

I can not believe the things people do in this world.How dare the author of this book write about a little girl and what happen to her.I am that little girl's big sister (Jodee) and have alot more than 1000 words to say about this.I feel that it is no one's business on what happen to Nichole. This was a hell of a year for the family and to take it and just write a book about it does not let her family put it to rest.I don't think that the author O'neil, had any right to write this book. All he is doing is making money off of my sister and her brutal murder. The people who did this act is and was sick in the head.This book just goes to show the world had sick even book writer's can be.
