Non-Fiction | True Crime
On June 9, 2008, the butchered body of Travis Alexander
was found in his Mesa, Arizona home. The grisly nature of
his death made instant headlines: with twenty-nine knife
wounds, his throat slit, and a gunshot to the head, Travis
was left to die. The prime suspect in the case was
Alexander’s ex-girlfriend, the attractive and soft-spoken
Jodi Arias. Though Arias initially said that she was nowhere
near the scene of the crime, little about this case was as
it seemed, and before long she had been caught lying to
police. As the investigation progressed, her lies evolved
multiple times before finally resting on an appalling claim:
she had killed Travis in self-defense. Along the way,
startling details emerged about the Mormon couple’s
relationship, and soon graphic stories of their lurid sexual
encounters and jealousy-driven blowouts revealed a dark side
to their life together. These revelations launched a trial
filled with sex and deception but also raised substantial
questions about Arias’s deceit, as people from across the
country struggled to understand the bizarre world of Jodi
Arias. Now, award-winning broadcast journalist and
bestselling author Jane Velez-Mitchell, a veteran of some of
the most storied court cases in recent memory, goes behind
the scenes of the trial and into the mind of a killer.
Using insider accounts from friends who knew Travis and
Jodi, Velez-Mitchell turns her sharply-focused lens on Arias
and offers her seasoned perspective on the case’s most
pressing questions. Separating fact from fiction, she
reports on the bizarre and explicit stories that have both
shocked and fascinated the American public—from Jodi’s
romantic history before meeting Travis, to their torrid sex
life together, to the complicated role their Mormon faith
played in the relationship’s demise. With unbridled access
to the evidence and the case’s key players, Velez-Mitchell
unearths Jodi’s contentious life with those closest to her,
examining the paranoid and erratic behavior behind each
relationship and illustrating the disturbing pattern of a
murderer in the making. Complete with photos from the
case and Jane Velez-Mitchell’s fresh insights on the crime,
Exposed takes readers behind closed bedroom doors
to uncover the truth behind the secret and sordid life of
Jodi Arias.
