Publisher's Summary
On a snowy winter evening in 1982, 21-year-old Mary Brown accepted a ride from a handsome stranger in the resort town of Breckenridge, Colorado. The trip ended with her brutally beaten and raped. Mary survived, but her predator's violence had only just begun.
After 10 years in prison, Tom Luther was released a far more vicious criminal. Soon, from the Rockies to West Virginia, like Ted Bundy, Luther enticed a chain of women into his murderous trap. In this gripping new edition of a true crime masterpiece, acclaimed author Steve Jackson recounts the intriguing pursuit and long awaited conviction of a charismatic, monstrous psychopath - one who remains a suspect in three other crimes, and has never given up hope of escape.
Critic Reviews
"One of the best books short of the famous Ann Rule works." (True Crime Book Reviews)
"Steve Jackson is a born storyteller. He makes you sweat...and turn the page." (Ron Franscell, author of The Darkest Night)

God it drags on.
The story itself is good but God does it drag on and on. First it goes on way to long describing his relationship with Debra. The story could have been condensed down to half of what it is. The person telling the story does it well but after a while all the voices just sound the same. It goes from being a good true crime story to a story that is extremely boring. I haven't even finished it yet I have three hours left and all it's doing is going over the same things over and over again I wish it would just end.

Wow so much detail.
I listened to this because of the narrator, Kevin Pierce. The story is well told but I'm just wondering if there was to much detail. Towards the end I becoming easily distracted and losing track of the charaters.

Excellent Work
Really well written - nicely read - a clear, compelling narrative with well-represented characters and a great pace. Fantastic prose style, it's factual, properly researched, human, always moving forward, never bogged down by boring procedural details. Awesome work.
So many of these true crime books get slowed down by excessive detail - it's like trying to wade through cold honey, but I'm pretty picky and this had me from beginning to end... beautifully balanced between real life and a compelling story... great stuff....

Exceptionally written and highly addictive
The author’s extensive research was translated into a book that kept me interested from start to finish. It was written in a way that every detail kept me engaged and wanting to listen at every opportunity.

outstanding
This book tells of the heinous crimes of an aptly named monster in a way that rightly pays him no service.
Instead the telling is done in such a poignant and meaningful way as to pay homage to the victims, their lives and the pain of their loss on those around them.
It is told in a thorough, thoughtful and sensitive way that imprints lastingly and almost positively on the reader
It leaves the impression that despite the pure evil that walked the earth - Luther - that right and goodness and some portions of justice prevailed.
Well researched, well told and I will be reading more from this author.
