Summary

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough (Barbarians at the Gate, Public Enemies, Big Rich) recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer who had raped and mutilated six women, murdering three of them. Yet the town had denied all early signs of the radical evil that was growing within Corwin. What had led the local media to ignore his early rapes? Why had the local Presbyterian Church tried to shield him from prison? Why had local law enforcement been unable to solve and prosecute his murders as they continued?

Burrough is widely admired as a master storyteller, and this chilling tale raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

This title contains mature themes, including physical and sexual violence, that some listeners may find unsettling.

a short true Crime story, narrator did a good job, sounded more like a podcast episode than an actual book.
Interesting how Danny managed to slip through the cracks to commit more crimes

A good little short true Crime story

Interesting - & rather harrowing story of Danny Corwin & his crimes. Maddening to learn that he was overlooked a few times when police were trying to solve his murders. It's quite a short book - but I felt the level of detail was actually pretty good. Definitely worth a listen for true crime fans

Short but worth a listen

A succinct, informative account of a serial killer. It would have been easier to follow if the individual accounts of the events had been spoken by someone else or in a different 'voice' so as to distinguish between the different people as it was difficult to know who was speaking at times.
