Items related to A Rage To Kill: And Other True Cases (True Crime Files)
Synopsis
Acclaimed for her 'devastatingly accurate insight' (The New York Times Book Review) into the criminal mind, Ann Rule has chronicled the most fascinating cases of our time in her bestselling Crime Files series.
For this sixth stunning collection, Rule has culled from her private files the most-asked about homicide-cases - riveting accounts of seemingly normal men and women who are compelled by a murderous rage to suddenly lash out at innocent victims.
Torn from the headlines, here is the shocking case of a Seattle city bus ride that turned to mayhem and murder at the hands of a gunman. While the scene unfolds as in a terrifying movie, Rule answers the haunting question 'how could this happen?' and expertly constructs the unseen chain of events that resulted in an explosive and shattering tragedy.
Included here are nine other sensational cases that illuminate Rule's uniquely authoritative view of the human psyche gone temporarily berserk. You may think you know who is safe and who is dangerous; in A RAGE TO KILL, Ann Rule shows that none of us are truly protected from the irrational violence that can erupt from the killers among us.

Ten Homicide Cases I Could Never Forget
Many of my readers have asked me to write a book that had many shorter cases in it, something they could read on the bus or at the beach. A Rage to Kill is a response to their requests.
Over the past 30 years, I have researched 1400 murder cases. Some are so unusual that they stand out in my memory. People kill one another for all manner of reasons: jealousy, revenge, anger, in the act of committing another felony, over love gone wrong--or even accidentally. However, the cases in this sixth volume of my True Crime Files demonstrate some of the most bizarre reasons for murder I ever encountered.
There are two long pieces. The first is an inside look at the mysterious crash of a huge bus that went off the tallest bridge in Seattle in November, 1998: "A Bus to Nowhere." The second is called "Profile of a Spree Killer." You will also find "That Was No Lady," "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town," "To An Athlete Dying Young," "The Killer Who Planted His Own Clues," " As Close As a Brother," and many other true cases.
Some of these case studies are very sad and some still strike me as absolutely unbelievable.
I hope you find them interesting!
