A Texas True Crime Procedural of Robert Joseph Zani, Real Estate Murders, and a Cross-Border Manhunt

Beginning with the 1967 murder of his own mother in San Antonio, Robert Joseph Zani carried out a thirteen-year criminal career across Texas. By the late 1970s, Zani and his wife operated a robbery and homicide scheme in Austin and San Antonio, targeting real estate agents and convenience store clerks, including the murder of clerk George "Lupe" Reyes.

Journalist Kelly Fero follows Austin homicide detectives Paul Field and Ron Huckabay as they link disparate crime scenes across county lines. The investigation details the forensic ballistics match, financial paper trails, and international coordination required to locate Zani after he fled across the Mexican border.
