[EAN: 9780882823485], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: New Horizon Press (New Jersey)], Jacket, Hardback. Timothy Krajcir thought he had got away with murder - 9 times. During a terror-filled 6yrs that gripped much of the Midwest with fear, he singled out women he happened upon, stalking them and breaking into their houses to wait for them to come home, then systematically assaulting and killing his unsuspecting victims. Ironically, as the police searched in vain, Krajcir attended Southern Illinois University as an Administration of Justice major. Later, when he was jailed on unrelated charges, he still thought nobody would ever find out about the murders. Eventually 9 dead women were found, in Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Little did this cold-blooded killer know, however, that a rookie cop named Paul Echols harboured a vested interest in the cases of 2 of Krajcir's victims in his old stomping grounds. Echols was eventually assigned to the cold cases he could not stop thinking about and he made a pledge to see the savage murderer held responsible. As Echols began to piece together the evidence before him, he came to realise the kind of monster he was up against: a gruesome combination of some of America's most infamous serial killers, including a bit of Ted Bundy's youthful good looks and intellect, a little of BTK's ambush strategy, a dash of John Wayne Gacy's ability to function within everyday society and aspects of Ed Gein's warped relationship with his mother. Filled with exclusive interviews and never-before-revealed details, this is a tale of the trail of blood left in the wake of Krajcir's deadly rampage across several states, told by the man who finally brought the killer to justice 25yrs later.
