With a slow chill that intensifies with each heart-pounding page, Rule describes her dawning awareness that Ted Bundy, her sensitive coworker on a crisis hotline, was one of the most prolific serial killers in America. He would confess to killing at least thirty-six young women from coast to coast, and was eventually executed for three of those cases. Drawing from their correspondence that endured until shortly before Bundy's death, and striking a seamless balance between her deeply personal perspective and her role as a crime reporter on the hunt for a savage serial killer -- the brilliant and charismatic Bundy, the man she thought she knew -- Rule changed the course of true-crime literature with this unforgettable chronicle.","brand":"Ray Perreault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150837432560,"sku":"2940171003197","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940171003197_p0.jpg?v=1763721639","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940171003197","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
