Murder By Increments

One after another, they appear by the sides of suburban roads and freeways-the naked, strangled bodies of women who have been raped, tortured and left for dead. Police begin to suspect that their target is a rogue operator who has emerged from their own ranks. And then, all hell breaks loose in Los Angeles. An arrest in the strangling murders of two co-eds across state lines finally leads to a break in the case, but the suspect is someone the investigators could have ever expected. None of them are prepared for the dark journey through the mazes of the human mind it will take to unlock the door to justice. From the author of the bestselling "Gone: Catastrophe in Paradise", "A City Owned" is the true story of the worst case of serial sex homicide in American history.

After an investigation spanning nearly two years, Los Angeles investigators come up empty in the case of a terrifying serial sex killer. But then, a seemingly unrelated arrest is made across state lines. In book two of Murder by Increments, we journey deeper into the life and mind of the suspect at the center of the case: one of the most confounding and mysterious serial killers in American history. Killing Cousins documents the shocking story of an abusive childhood that created a monster, and the suspect's possible involvement in a separate string of killings of teenagers in Rochester, New York. Did this man truly have multiple personalities, or was he a cunning sociopath enacting a daring hoax against the criminal justice system? By the end, you make up your own mind.
