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.
In this book, Martha Stout, a clinical psychologist, explores the phenomenon of sociopaths living among ordinary people. She reveals that about 4% of the population lacks a conscience, feeling no shame, guilt, or remorse. The book provides case studies and practical advice on how to identify sociopaths, who can be charming but lack empathy, and how to protect oneself from their manipulative behaviors. Stout emphasizes the importance of recognizing the signs of sociopathic behavior and offers guidelines for handling interactions with such individuals, including questioning authority, suspecting flattery, and avoiding the pity play[3][4][5].
This book tells the haunting true story of the elusive serial rapist and murderer known as the Golden State Killer, who committed fifty sexual assaults and ten murders in California during the 1970s and 1980s. The narrative is intertwined with the story of Michelle McNamara, the gifted journalist who dedicated her life to uncovering the identity of the killer. Despite her tragic death before completing the book, McNamara's work helped unmask the Golden State Killer in April 2018. The book includes an introduction by Gillian Flynn and an afterword by Patton Oswalt, and it has been hailed as a modern true crime classic for its atmospheric and meticulous investigation[1][5][4].
