“The one true crime masterpiece I have read.” —The Guardian on Lobster Boy
The author of the true crime classic Lobster Boy now turns his investigative skills to the chilling true story of Kendall Francois, one of the most bizarre serial sex-killers of modern times. In October, 1996, young, pretty, and petite women began vanishing off the streets of Poughkeepsie, New York. Most were prostitutes and some were addicts. By August, 1998, the toll had reached eight, when a prostitute told police she had barely escaped being strangled by Kendall Francois, 27, a 6'4", 300-lb. middle school hall monitor whose slovenly personal hygiene had earned him the nickname "Stinky." Inside his house, the smell was worse, as investigators discovered a tangle of rotting flesh and bones - eight female corpses, almost all decomposed. Francois was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Softcover / Paperback. Condition: Fine. First edition. Paperback. In October 1996, women began vanishing off the streets of Poughkeepsie, New York. All were very young, pretty and petite. Most were hustlers and crack-heads. By August 1998, as the toll reached 8, a victim's mother said bitterly 'When they find one, they'll find them all.' She didn't know how horrifyingly right she was. At the height of the manhunt, prostitute Christine Sala, hysterical, told police she had barely escaped being strangled by Kendall Francois, 27, a 6'4', 300-lb middle-school hall monitor whose slovenly personal hygiene had earned him the nickname 'Stinky'. When caught, Francois said that he'd killed the women because they hadn't given him all the sex he claimed he'd paid for. Investigators in white bio-hazard suits entered the house where Francois lived and found 8 female corpses, almost all decomposed. Some were placed in plastic bags together in the attic. Others lay in shallow graves in the crawl space under the house. It was such a tangle of rotting flesh and bones, even the investigators couldn't tell how many bodies there were. Now sentenced to life in prison without parole, the man whom others dismissed as a smelly oaf had finally been unmasked as one of the most bizarre serial sex-killers of modern times. Illus. with 16pp. of photos. + Epilogue and Appendix. 303pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly browned edges o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers. Seller Inventory # 17967
