From #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Stranger Beside
Me comes the terrifying true crime story of a serial killer hiding in
plain sight.
To his neighbors, Jerry Brudos was a gentle, quiet man whose mild manner
sharply contrasted with his awesome physical strength. To his employers,
Jerry was an expert electrician, the kind of skilled worker you just
don't find anymore. To his wife, Darcie, Jerry was a good husband, and a
loving father to their children, despite his increasingly sexual demands
on her, and his violent insistence that she never venture into his
garage workroom and the giant food freezer there.
To the Oregon police, Jerry Brudos was the most hideously twisted killer
they had ever unmasked. And they brought to light what he had done to
four young women--and perhaps many more--in the nightmare darkness of
his sexual hunger and rage. First, Jerry Brudos was brought to
trial...and then, in a shattering aftermath, his wife was accused as
