SNIPER Inside the Hunt for the Killers Who Terrorized the Nation

Hardback. The behind-the-scenes story of one of the most frightening rampages to occur in US history - and how it was stopped. In October 2002, for more than 3 weeks the nation watched in disbelief as Washington, D.C. and its surrounding suburbs were held hostage by anonymous gunmen shooting innocent civilians at random. This is the definitive account of those alleged gunmen, John Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, and the massive manhunt that ended with their capture by a heavily armed SWAT team in an early-morning raid at an interstate highway rest stop. A cautionary tale about the vulnerability of American society in an age of terrorism. Illus. + Cast of Characters and Index. 250pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in f. dw.
