The Stranger Beside Me
Book • 1980
In 1971, while working at a Seattle crisis clinic, true-crime writer Ann Rule formed a close friendship with Ted Bundy, a charismatic young coworker.
Three years later, as eight young women disappeared in seven months, Rule began tracking a brutal mass murderer, only to discover that the 'Ted' the police were seeking was her friend.

Bundy eventually confessed to killing at least thirty-six women across the country.
