Then, with cold-blooded precision he brought a twelve-inch boning knife to Krystal's throat. With a single, violent slash, he severed her windpipe and left her for dead. Miraculously, she survived and would lead authorities to the arrest of 35-year-old Tommy Lynn Sells, a former truck driver, carnival worker, and cross-country drifter...
Sells aspired to become "The Worst Serial Killer Of All Time." And he damn near made it.
With no apparent motive and no common pattern to his inconceivable bloodshed, the elusive Sells had carved his way across America for two decades slaughtering women, men, transients, entire families, teenagers, and even infants with ghoulish abandon.
It is hard to believe that anyone could commit such horrendous crimes and not
get caught for such a
long time. From non-fiction chase tale, the novel switches to real-life court
drama, with the notes that passed between the killer and his attorney adding
a frightening dimension to the tale.
Not to mention the chilling letter from Tommy Lynn Sells that ends the book!
A fascinating read.
