On January 24, 1989, he was executed for the murders of three young women, having confessed to taking the lives of at least thirty-five more." "This is the story of one of the most fascinating killers in American history - of his magnetic power, his bleak compulsion, his double life, his string of vulnerable victims. It is also the story of Ann Rule, a writer working on the biggest story of her life, tracking down a brutal serial killer. Little did she realize that the "Ted" the police were seeking was the same Ted who worked with her at a Seattle crisis clinic, a man who had become her close friend and confidant. As she began to put the evidence together, a terrifying picture emerged of the man she thought she knew."--Jacket ER -
