Review:
Praise for Ann Rule "Rule has an instinct for suspense, knowing just what information to leak to the reader and when."--The Washington Post Book World "A raw docudrama of almost unbelievable intensity."--Booklist "A harrowing pathological portrait, a nearly unthinkable triple-murder plot, a hold-your-breath police procedural and a tale of dedication and compassion all superbly combined to produce the most riveting true-crime account since In Cold Blood."--Kirkus Reviews "Excellent....One of the most detailed studies of a sociopath to dignify the true-crime circuit."--The San Francisco Chronicle "A fascinating and grisly story...un-putdownable."--New York Daily News "A good read....Rule springs surprises and revelations with a novelist's skill."--Seattle Times
