Produktbeschreibung

"One of the best true crime books of all time" examines the abusive childhood, shocking crimes and execution of serial killer Aileen Wuornos (Examiner.com).

As a child, Aileen Wuornos was abandoned, abused and raped. By her teens, she was deep into a lifestyle of hitchhiking, petty crime, and the sex trade. In her twisted mind, uncontrollable bouts of violence were pure survival skills.

In 1986 Aileen began a lesbian relationship with Tyria Moore. Three years later, tired of turning tricks, she fired four bullets into one of her clients-then robbed him. She claimed she killed six more victims before authorities finally locked her behind bars.

Lethal Intent is the definitive true crime biography of this infamous serial killer. In this edition, award-winning journalist Sue Russell updates her harrowing real-life thriller with new details of the most famous female serial killer's decade on death row, her execution in 2002-and the lasting impact of her dark deeds.

The case that inspired the Academy Awarding-winning movie Monster
