MONSTER

Paperback. On February 13, 1982, 21yr. old Mary Brown accepted a ride from a handsome, polite stranger in the ski resort town of Breckenridge, Colorado. Hours later, her battered, bloodied body was treated by emergency room doctors who couldn't believe a human being could have inflicted such massive traumatic injuries. Mary would miraculously survive the vicious predator whose rape and beating all but killed her. But his violence had just begun. Police quickly found the vehicle in which Mary had been assaulted, and it wasn't long before its owner - mild-mannered, blue-eyed Tom Luther, pled guilty and was convicted. But 10yrs. later, the system that should have put Luther away for good released a hardened, more psychotic, and much more dangerous criminal. And this time he swore his victims would never live to testify against him. One policeman was obsessed with catching this brutal killer, pinning at least one Colorado murder on him. But as Luther led Det. Scott Richardson through a maze of lies and deception, the stakes began to rise. From the Rockies to West Virginia, young women were coming face to face with a murderous monster raging out of control. And none of them were coming out alive. Illus, with 12pp. of photos. 530pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
