Luggage by Kroger

<i>Catherine was destined to become several important things to me. But most prominently she would become my problem-solver. Before I met her I had a bunch of problems. Then all of sudden with her in my life I had only one.</i><p>Written as a true crime memoir <i>Luggage By Kroger</i> is a unique genre-crossing tale that blends memoir with mystery legal procedural and psycho-thriller. <i>Fatal Attraction</i> meets <i>Angela's Ashes</i> as a former Houston newspaper reporter recounts a pivotal year centered on his dangerous affair with one of the most intriguing femmes fatales of American crime. Forewarned of the dangers but unable to resist he still dives into a torrid relationship that takes him to a new level of self-awareness and revelation as he becomes her target while trying to protect his estranged wife and their two daughters from the violence they all know is set to explode.<p> Told with self-deprecating humor and high-octane drama <i>Luggage By Kroger</i> pulls no punches in finally sharing the inside story that forced him onto the talk-show circuit in the late 1980s as the poster boy for true-life fatal attractions with Oprah Regis and Sally. It's a story that twice has seen life as television docudrama. But the intimate details have remained under the radar since they occurred in 1979-80. As he says in his dedication this book is written partially for all those who kept me out late in bars demanding more.<p>
