Lying in Wait

Description

In this gripping collection of true-crime cases, Ann Rule examines premeditated crimes in which victims are stalked, ambushed, or drawn into carefully laid traps. Among the cases is the terrifying pursuit of a rage-filled serial rapist who eluded Seattle police while women waited anxiously for his next attack. Drawing on her personal files and meticulous investigative reporting, Rule explores the psychology of calculated violence, the warning signs surrounding it, and the devastating impact on victims and communities. Chilling and deeply atmospheric, these accounts reveal how patience, deception, and malice can turn ordinary circumstances into scenes of unimaginable danger.
