Book Description:
Ten-Year-Old Krystal Surles Watched In Horror
As Her Best Friend Was Murdered At The Hands Of An Intruder.
Then with cold-blooded precision he brought a twelve-inch boning knife to Krystal's throat. With a single, violent slash, he severed her windpipe and left her for dead. Miraculously, she survived and would lead authorities to the arrest of 35-year-old Tommy Lynn Sells, a former truck driver, carnival worker, and cross-country drifter...
He Aspired To Become "The Worst Serial Killer Of All Time."
With no apparent motive and no common pattern to his inconceivable bloodshed, the elusive Sells had carved his way across the country for two decades slaughtering women, men, transients, entire families, teenagers, and even infants with ghoulish abandon.
Through The Window is more than an investigation into a crime spree that stunned a nation. It's an utterly terrifying plunge into the unfathomable dark mind of a serial killer, and the heart-wrenching story of the brave child who finally brought him to justice.

The true story of Cross-Country serial killer Tommy Lynn Sells. Includes 8 pages of haunting photograps. Sells glib charm brims with manipulative cunning as he spent 18 years killing people before he got caught. A creepy good read.

unbelievable: a man, supposedly a human being, can be so cold-blooded. believable: that someone who kills over & over can get away with for years & years...all they have to do is travel a lot. interesting take on tommy lynn sells, the man who (there were 2 paragraphs on it in the book) killed my niece & her 12 yr old daughter in 1998.

The exploits of Tommy Lynn Sells who killed countless victims across many states in his travels as a "carnie" among other things. His M.O. and type of victims wasn't bound by gender or age. One of the worst serial killers!

Great Read. Had a hard time putting the book down. It never fails to amaze me what one human being can do to another without losing sleep. Tommy Lynn Sells is one sick puppy.
