This book is about the Ski Mask Rapist, Gilbert Escobedo, who was active in the 1980's in the state of Texas. Howard Swindle did a fair amount of research and presented the facts of the case in a manner that was engaging and easy to follow. Escobedo was involved in plenty of crimes as a young person, and gradually kept up with a series of them. This book examines his life as well as his mindset. It is really interesting to try to figure out what motivates people to commit something like 100 rapes. It is especially interesting to me to note that he was fairly successful in business and in his long term relationships, yet managed to be this terrible person. Just vile.
