The Stranger Beside Me

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.

The book details her intimate and chilling account of Bundy's double life, his magnetic power, and his string of helpless victims.

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