Introduction by Daniel W. Schwartz, Forensic Psychiatrist. Illustrated with 8 pages of photos. Bound in the original red boards, stamped in black on the spine. From the dust jacket: "This book is unique, for although the rapist-murderer has come to loom large in the American consciousness in the past decade, confounding our preconceptions about human nature and the interface between sex and violence, it was not until Robert Frederick Carr III poured out this remarkable confession that such a man took us into the caverns of his psyche -- and was articulate and intelligent enough to make his account valuable. Robert Carr was a slim, red-haired young auto salesman with a high IQ. In 1971 he began to feel irresistible urges to rape. He left his wife and children and set off on a five-year cross-country odyssey of violence. He would cruise through cities, pick up victims, charm and entertain them, subjugate them psychologically, then rape and sometimes kill them. So magnetic was his personality that he could take his captives to stores and nightclubs with confidence, knowing they would not try to escape. Eventually he was arrested. Determined to put an end to his crimes, he defied his lawyer and made a full confession, then led police on a macabre grave-digging tour up the eastern seaboard. Carr begged the noted journalist Edna Buchanan to take down his story -- to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. This is Carr's book. There has never been anything like it before.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Very Good++ dust jacket. 8vo. xvi, 261pp. + 8 pages of photos. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 8vo. E P Dutton, New York. 1979. 261 pages. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist gets inside the mind of a serial killer and uncovers what makes truly evil men kill. Robert Frederick Carr III was clever and appeared friendly, the perfect lure to draw in his next victim. His crimes were unconscionable: he kidnapped fifteen people, raped and tortured most, and murdered four before being arrested. After confessing to his grisly crimes and leading police on a cross country grave digging trip to recover the bodies, Carr begged Edna Buchanan, the police reporter for the Miami Herald, to write about him, to help prevent future crimes like his. During long hours of interviewing him in his jail cell, Buchanan found Carr to be an instinctively intelligent sadist, a predator who abandoned his wife and children to pursue a five year odyssey of violence. Carr's story is a chilling look into the dark soul of a born killer. E-156; 8.2 X 5.7 X 1.2 inches; 261 pages.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 8vo., 261pp. Sharp Stated First Edition, First Printing with full number sequence. Bound in red paper-covered boards with titles in red on spine. The much loved mystery writer's first book; a non-fiction work detailing the live and crimes of Robert Frederick Carr III, notorious serial rapist and killer responsible for the murders of three children and one adult woman. Buchanan was a reporter for the Miami Herald when Carr gave her the story of his life. Square, tight and clean throughout save some mild off-setting to end-papers. Small bump to top right tip and some softness to spine ends. Beautiful unclipped dust-jacket, ($10.95), is fresh and bright with hipping, creases, toning or tears. Signed by the author on the title page. Further signed and inscribed on the front end-paper to somehow who judging from the inscription, has a closer association than just a reader. "To Paul Pollack, (from Eastside), who never tells a lie, With Love, from Edna B. (from Central). 12/25/79". A very pretty collectable copy, uncommonly signed and with a terrific presentation.
