  ,From a pair ofÃ‚Â ,New York TimesÃ‚Â ,bestselling authors with unparalleled access comes an in-depth account of the manhunt forÃ‚Â Joran van der Sloot, one of the most reviled accused criminals in the world,
  ,Ã‚Â ,
  ,In May 2005, Natalee Holloway disappeared from a high school trip toÃ‚Â Aruba. Five years to the day later, twenty-one-year-oldÃ‚Â StephanyÃ‚Â FloresÃ‚Â was reported missing inÃ‚Â Lima,Ã‚Â Peru. Implicated in both crimes was one young man:Ã‚Â JoranÃ‚Â van der Sloot.,
  ,A twenty-three-year-old Dutchman,Ã‚Â Van der SlootÃ‚Â has become the subject of intense scrutiny by the media and the public in the years since 2005. He was arrested and detained by Aruban authorities in connection with theÃ‚Â HollowayÃ‚Â disappearance, only to be released after questioning. In 2008, during a Dutch sting operation, he admitted to being present forÃ‚Â HollowayÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s death---but later recanted his statement.,
  ,In 2010, on the five-year anniversary of her disappearance, a young business student inÃ‚Â PeruÃ‚Â namedÃ‚Â StephanyÃ‚Â FloresÃ‚Â disappeared, only to be found dead three days later in a hotel room---registered toÃ‚Â Van der Sloot. He was arrested for the murder and confessed, but he later claimed he was coerced.,
