About the book
**Prepared for their final journey** On March 26, police discovered an incredible, shocking sight behind the doors of an ornate mansion in the exclusive San Diego community known as Rancho Santa Fe. Twenty women and nineteen men ranging in age from 26 to 72, dressed identically in black and wearing brand-new Nikes, were found lying throughout the three million dollar house on cots and beds. They were all dead, with purple shrouds covering their faces and bodies. As the horrifying details began to emerge, investigators discovered that they were a self-sufficient cult of computer web page designers, who had chosen to end their lives. Their leader was the charismatic and controversial Marshall Applewhite, known as "Do", a sixties dropout whose obsessive nature drove him to create the Heaven's Gate cult. In this gripping account of the strange deaths and mysterious lives of the Heaven's Gate members, a team of *New York Post* writers reveals the disturbing truth about a cult that is too close for comfort.
