| Book Description: |
| This
riveting true-crime account focuses on the motivating factors of
lust, greed, and cheating, which triggered two grisly murders in
1983, one of them being Walter Scott, lead singer of Bob Kuban and
the In-Men, who skyrocketed the song "The Cheater" to
the top of Billboard's chart. The book recreates Scott's
struggle to attain stardom...sexual passion...events leading to
the murder...a frustrating police investigation...the exhumation
of one of the victims...the gruesome discovery of Scott's body in
a cistern...and the six year battle to get justice through the
justice system.

"Bob Kuban and the In-Men, featuring
Walter Scott, was the first musical group since Chuck Berry to
bring national recording success to my hometown of St.
Louis. The Cheaters: The Walter Scott Murder
is an intriguing look into the life of Walter Scott, who saw
his dreams come true, only to have it all come to a nightmarish
end. Priesmeyer wrote an excellent story. Great
reading!" -- Michael McDonald,
singer, songwriter and former member of the Dooby Brothers

told." -- Bill McClellan, columnist for the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch and author of true-crime book Evidence

"Scottie Priesmeyer so vividly
recounted the ill-fated story of Walter Scott's life. The
