reviewed on + 193 more book reviews


Claudia Yasko, 26, confessed to a triple homicide in 1978three of ten Ohio murders attributed to the ".22 caliber" killers. Her confession was false and she was unknown by the two men later convicted of the crimes. Yasko, an attractive but mentally ill young woman, sought out Keyes to help tell her story. For, while no one believed her capable of murder, how did she happen to know so much about the crime scene? Keyes, who wrote about a multiple-personality criminal in The Minds of Billy Milligan, spent two years unlocking Yasko's repressed memory and separating fantasy from reality. .
