Don't miss this fantastic true crime story. This comes from Junger's own childhood and delves into how a crime impacts his family and relates to a much, much bigger crime spree circa 1960's in his own state of Massachusetts. Written in Junger's minute by minute action style, you can't put this book down. At once almost unbelievable and at the same time completely chilling.

I started reading this book, stopped and read the back cover and deicded I probably wouldn't like it since it is a true account of a real crime (not a fan of those types of books) Decided to give it my mandatory 50 pages - I'm glad I did. While I wouldn't say I'm enjoying the book --can you enjoy reading about a true murder?-- I am glad I decided to read it. Well written account that reads as though you were actually there. Recommended. A little graphic, but not too bad. (position of body and such)

Well written and based on factual events, but a bit on the graphic side for my tastes.

Non-fiction account of the author's relationship to a serial killer-by the writer of The Perfect Storm. Not your average true-crime book.
