â‚¬ The beautiful daughter of a State Department official ran away from the privileged world she knew and hitched a ride with a man she didnâ‚¬t . . . with fatal consequences
â‚¬ For months, a vicious, rage-filled serial rapist eluded police and terrorized Seattleâ‚¬s womenâ‚¬"when would he strike next, and how far would his violence escalate?
â‚¬ A criminal known for his Houdini-like escapes is serving time for murder in a botched robberyâ‚¬"now the convict is being served dinner in a civilianâ‚¬s home, where he has one more trick up his sleeve
â‚¬ A long-lost relative who came home to visit, leaving a bloody trail through Washington and Oregon; no one realized how dangerous he and his ladylove wereâ‚¬"until it was far too late. . . .
