Lying in Wait: Ann Rule's Crime Files: Vol.17

Ann Rule presents another collection of fascinating and disturbing true-crime storiesâ€”drawn from her real-life personal filesâ€”in this seventeenth volume in the #1 New York Times bestselling Crime Files series.

MOVING IN FOR THE KILL
In this all-new collection of investigative accounts from her private archives, â€œAmericaâ€™s best true-crime writerâ€ (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:

â€¢ New mothers murdered, their infants kidnapped, in an atrocious baby-selling scheme

â€¢ The man who kept his criminal past hidden from his wifeâ€”and his wife from his mistressâ€”until he coldly disposed of one of them

â€¢ The beautiful daughter of a State Department official ran away from the privileged world she knew and hitched a ride with a man she didnâ€™t . . . with fatal consequences

â€¢ For months, a vicious, rage-filled serial rapist eluded police and terrorized Seattleâ€™s womenâ€”when would he strike next, and how far would his violence escalate?

â€¢ A criminal known for his Houdini-like escapes is serving time for murder in a botched robberyâ€”now the convict is being served dinner in a civilianâ€™s home, where he has one more trick up his sleeve

â€¢ 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 wereâ€”until it was far too late. . . .

With her ability to translate the most complex cases into storytelling â€œas dramatic and chilling as a bedroom window shattering at nightâ€ (The New York Times), Rule expertly analyzes the thoughts and deeds of the
sociopath, in this seventeenth essential Crime Files volume.
