This is a moderately interesting account of the murder spree perpetrated upon the terrified citizens of Joliet Illinois during the pre-DNA 1980s. Encumbered by a lack of forensic evidence, law enforcement officials were blocked at every turn by the savvy killer who was clever enough to cover his bloody tracks. Even after police had correctly identified their perp, they were still unable to provide the clinical proof required for a conviction, and so the monster continued to evade justice.
This should have been a compelling book. Unfortunately, the telling of the gruesome story somehow falls short of the mark.
