Darker than Night: The True Story of a Brutal Double Homicide—and an 18-Year-Long Quest for Justice

A chilling account of the murders of two hunters in rural Michigan—a mystery that haunted a community and baffled the police for two decades.

In the bitter cold of 1985, two buddies from Detroit embark on a hunting trip to the Michigan wilderness, unaware they will soon become the hunted.

The eerie silence surrounding their sudden disappearance is broken after nearly two decades when a relentless investigator inspires a terrified witness to break her silence. The witness narrates a haunting scene that had unfolded years back, pointing fingers at the prime suspects—the Duvall brothers.

With no bodies unearthed, the justice system is riveted by the startling revelations during an electrifying trial in 2003. The brothers, Raymond and Donald Duvall, had bragged about the murders, evocatively explaining how they dismembered their victims and fed them to pigs. Despite the shocking confession, the case holds its ground purely on a single witness’s account, taking the courtroom through a labyrinth of dark secrets and sinister acts.

This gripping thriller presents a vivid tale of crime that reveals the devastating power of evil.
