Reality is far more gruesome than fiction...Ann Rule is undoubtedly the most prolific and critically acclaimed true crime novelist of our age. Her auspicious criminal justice background and early, close-up glimpse of evil in her then friend, Ted Bundy (who unbeknownst to her at the time was following his own career path with zeal), gives her a unique insight into the minds of truly despicable people. She always paints colorful and well-researched backgrounds of the participants in the crimes she writes about; she's never one to leave a victim faceless or a killer blameless.
