I couldn't put this book down. Here is what a reviewer said about the book:
I've read almost everything Jack Olsen has written (he's one of the folks on my short "I buy everything" list), but even in Olsen's body of work, this is a standout.
Olsen has written about more heinous criminals -- after all, this guy is "only" a serial rapist. But "Son" really captures the creepy, narcissistic world of the sociopath. The level of detail and understanding is remarkable. He captures the essence of what is pathetic and frightening about these people in a way few other writers have. I first read this book more than a decade ago, but I still think about it.

This is a true crime novel about a serial rapist. It is not for the faint of heart! However, for those who like true crime, this is an interesting portrait of a very troubled young man. You won't believe what he gets away with.

Very comprehensive look at a series of brutal rapes that took place in Spokane during the 70's.
