About the Author
Charles W. Sasser has been a full-time freelance writer, journalist, and photographer since 1979. He is a veteran of both the U.S. Navy (journalist) and U.S. Army (Special Forces, the Green Berets), a combat veteran and former combat correspondent wounded in action. He also served fourteen years as a police officer (in Miami, Florida, and in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he was a homicide detective). He is author, co-author or contributing author of more than 30 books and novels, including One Shot-One Kill and Hill 488, both available from Pocket Books. Sasser now lives on a ranch in Chouteau, Oklahoma, with his wife Donna.
From Publishers Weekly
Sasser's milieu of homicidal perverts, rotting corpses and misunderstood cops handcuffed by a bleeding-heart liberal establishment is nothing new to fans of hard-boiled detective fiction. This volume , however, is no novel but an account of the author's years as a Tulsa, Okla., homicide detective, loosely structured around his obsession with solving the grisly serial murders of three young women, dubbed the "Jekyll-and-Hyde" case by the local newspaper. Although these particular murders are never solved, Sasser--who casts himself as a combination Columbo (his nickname) and Dirty Harry (the phrase "make my day" appears more than once)--seems to have enjoyed more successes than failures, and he recounts the former in a lively, literate style. He also displays an exaggerated machismo and a manifest contempt for women and homosexuals. Nevertheless, Sasser (coauthor of The Walking Dead: A Marine's Story of Vietnam ) offers a grim, authentic window to a world of horrors only hinted at in the tabloid headlines, and gives us a personal look at the triumphs and frustrations of those we pay to face those horrors every working day.
