Description
Green River, Running Red is a provocative and eye-opening classic of investigative journalism by the #1 New York Times bestselling author and "America’s best true-crime writer" (Kirkus Reviews), Ann Rule. This book explores the nearly twenty-year-long search for America’s most prolific and horrifying serial killer.
In 1982, the body of Wendy Coffield is discovered floating near the sandy shore of Washington’s Green River. Authorities have no idea that this tragic and violent death is only the beginning of a string of murders that will rock and terrify the Seattle area for two decades.
With her signature riveting prose and in-depth research, Ann Rule takes us behind the scenes of the search for the Green River Killer, a terrifying specter who ritualistically killed young women and eluded authorities for years. From seeking the help of incarcerated serial killer Ted Bundy to Ann Rule’s horrifying realization that the killer she was writing about had attended her book signings, Green River, Running Red is the suspenseful and unforgettable "definitive narrative of the brutal and senseless crimes that haunted the Seattle area for decades" (Publishers Weekly).
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Green River, Running Red by Ann Rule has been praised for conveying the emotional truth of the Green River case according to the Los Angeles Times. The Statesman Journal describes it as possibly Ann Rule's finest work, while People magazine finds it riveting.
