Publisher Comments:

Two teenagers, making out one night in a car on the edge of town — slaughtered by person or persons unknown. No physical evidence to speak of. No known motive. For all the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office knows, there's a psychotic killer roaming the hills west of town. Until they arrest someone for the murders of Larry Peyton and Beverly Allan, no one will rest easy.

The Peyton-Allan Files is a true-life murder mystery, straight from the files of the detectives who worked the case. It's history in the present tense, guaranteed to keep you turning pages till the last guilty party has been brought to justice... or maybe just framed. Because one way or another, this case has got to be solved.

Phil Stanford has a natural talent for writing and investigating. For those who remember, he was the "Steve Duin" of the 80's at the Oregonian, and did a dam good job! This book, The Peyton Allan Files, leaves you on the edge of your seat, as you read. It's the kind of book that you can't put down. Phil is one of the most "Tenacious" people I think I know. Maybe he's a writer, who should have been a cop (detective). I'm familiar with his other works, and he probably knows more than anyone else anywhere on anything he does.

His stuff is all good. Anything he writes is well worth getting and reading!!!!

The Peyton-Allan Files is solidly researched and annotated. Any suggestion to the contrary is empty rhetoric. There are dozens of sources quoted throughout the book. Stanford conducted exhaustive interviews and left no stone unturned. In time, this book will be considered as a classic of the true crime genre.
