Book Description:
The first shocker was the unspeakable act that sent him to prison...the second was that they released him to do it again and again.
The man responsible for killing two children with his bare hands was Arthur J. Shawcross. After pleading guilty, he was put away for 14 years, being released in 1987. Not long afterward, the worst serial killing spree in New York history began. He killed in a frenzy of bloodlust and rage. When the cops caught up to him at last, he'd murdered 11 prostitutes.

I liked how this book had sections that were from the perspective of characters of this case, such as the mother of his first known victim, an almost victim, and different law enforcement officials.

Excellent true crime novel. I finished the last page, turned on the tv and there he was! An interview with Arthur Shawcross. He is one sick puppy! Gained some insite into "why" he is the kind of person he is near the end of the book. Will probably read again someday.
