Very, very, very disturbing book. Halfway through I was wondering why I was reading about this heinous event(s).
Maybe because I remember it, living in No. Ca as I do.
Hard to believe any human being could do things like these to other humans.
There's no good answer to why this book should be read. Maybe voyeurism? Sick entertainment?
I read it myself and feel hypocritical saying this but maybe there is a good reason to revisit this hell-on-earth series of events in our beloved northern Ca.
If this book doesn't make you sick, there's something wrong with you!

This book was the most horrible books I have ever read. This is a true story. The men that this book is written about are sick and twisted. Great book and I couldn't put it down.

From the back of the book...
It began with a shoplifting arrest. It led to a search of a remote California hamlet called Wilseyville that yielded six bodies, 45 pounds of burned bone fragments, and a child's liver. Then, horror-struck investigators made the most chilling discovery of all: the videotape that showed what Charles Ng and Leonard Lake did to their handcuffed female victims before snuffing them out.
Here is the terrifying story of one of the most notorious serial killer teams in American history -- a pair of maniacs whose orgy of sex crimes, torture, and murder took the lives of at least sixteen victims. From Charles Ng's strange Hong Kong childhood to his twisted friendship with Leonard Lake, DIE FOR ME is the graphic portrait of two monsters who walked among us -- Lake, who took his own life, and Ng, who will die by lethal injection.
Includes 16 pages of shocking photos.
