Description

A chilling true-crime investigation follows a serial killer whose seemingly ordinary encounters concealed a ruthless pattern of violence—and whose death sentence did not end the danger. Drawing on police records, courtroom testimony, and the lives of victims and investigators, the narrative traces how want ads became part of a predator’s method and how authorities worked to bring him to justice. With the psychological insight and meticulous storytelling that define her work, the author examines the deceptive normalcy of evil, the failures that allow violence to continue, and the enduring cost borne by survivors and families.
