This book is on the suggested reading list for The Last Podcast On The Left. Jack Olsen tackles the subject of Arthur Shawcross, an American serial killer. Shawcross was described as being different, even from early childhood. He claimed that he was physically and mentally abused by his mother, and traumatized by events he experienced during his service in Vietnam. He was sent to prison for two murders, paroled, and went off to kill again. Shawcross was an extremely odd person, and the theories behind his actions are very interesting. This book was engaging and well written.
