Product Information

Ann Rule presents a collection of fascinating and disturbing true-crime stories--drawn from her real-life personal files--in this seventeenth volume in the #1 New York Times bestselling Crime Files series. In this gripping collection of investigative accounts from her private archives, "America's best true-crime writer" ( Kirkus Reviews) exposes the most frightening aspect of the murderous mind: the waiting game. Trusted family members or strangers, these cold-blooded killers select their unsuspecting prey, wait for the perfect moment to strike, then turn normality into homicidal mayhem in a matter of moments. Ann Rule will have you seeing the people and places around you with heightened caution as you read these shattering cases, including: - New mothers murdered, their infants kidnapped, in an atrocious baby-selling scheme - The man who kept his criminal past hidden from his wife--and his wife from his mistress--until he coldly disposed of one of them - The beautiful daughter of a State Department official ran away from the privileged world she knew and hitched a ride with a man she didn't . . . with fatal consequences - For months, a vicious, rage-filled serial rapist eluded police and terrorized Seattle's women--when would he strike next, and how far would his violence escalate? - A criminal known for his Houdini-like escapes is serving time for murder in a botched robbery--now the convict is being served dinner in a civilian's home, where he has one more trick up his sleeve - 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 were--until it was far too late. . . . With her ability to translate the most complex cases into storytelling "as dramatic and chilling as a bedroom window shattering at night" ( The New York Times ), Rule expertly analyzes the thoughts and deeds of the sociopath, in this seventeenth essential Crime Files volume.

Worth a read if you like short stores, in one book.
While Ann Rule is Queen of true crime stories, I didn't realize some of her books, maybe most of them are a compilation of true stories, so in one book, there may be five stories, etc. Some of the stories are very good, some are kinda blah. She's a great writer, don't get me wrong. I prefer the same story throughout a book. I do recommend if you don't mind short stories. Great value? not sure what that means.... I mean I purchased it from Ebay so it wasn't full price. It was in very good condition. And btw I do have several of these and over about three of them, I lost interest. I do have a collection of her real "books".

Lying in Wait
Great story from an accomplished writer. Ann Rules' stories are always so intriguing and once you start one of her books it is so difficult to put it down.
