On November 6, 2003, police in Hong Kong found the body of Rob Kissel, one of the most prominent investment bankers in Asia, in a storage room. The previous Sunday, his wife, Nancy, had bludgeoned him to death with a lead statue. Hours before she killed her husband, Nancy Kissel laced a pink milkshake with knockout drugs and instructed their daughter to serve the concoction to her father. For two gruesome days, Nancy then kept the remains hidden in the couple's bedroom in one of the most desirable residences in Hong Kong. Rob's death also brought to a tragic conclusion the Kissels' fractious marriage—Nancy had embarked on a torrid stateside affair with Michael Del Priore, whom Rob had contracted to install a vacation–house screening room. Before his death, Rob had discovered the romance by hiring a private investigator to keep tabs on his wife. This excerpt from Never Enough begins with the family's arrival in Hong Kong, when what seemed like marital bliss started to unravel.
