Book Description:
After his first grisly crime, Harvey Louis Carignan beat a death sentence and continued to manipulate, rape, and bludgeon women to death--using want ads to lure his young female victims.
And time after time, justice was thwarted by a killer whose twisted legal genius was matched only by his sick savagery.
Here, complete with the testimony of women who suffered his unspeakable sexual abuses and barely escaped with their lives, and of the police who at last put him behind bars, is one of the most shattering and thought-provoking true-crime stories of our time.

* "Rule has an instinct for suspense."--Washington Post Book World

I wish she would have written this one later in her career as the book would have been even more detailed. Nonetheless, it is a story that can make the hair on your neck prickle from the absolute evil in some people.

Only 229 pages long, but this true story of a brutal man who rapes and bludgeons women to death, along with 8 pages of photos, makes for a good read if you like Ann Rule.

A shocking true-crime story of a man who was sentenced to die - yet lived to rape and kill again...and again...and again...
A book about a man who contacted possible victims through a want ad for help at his gas station. This enabled him to lure victims to him.
