When the bodies of three teenagers were found on the shores of Lake
Waco, Texas in July, 1982, even seasoned lawmen were taken aback by
the savage mutilation and degradation they had been subjected to.
Yet only 52 days after the gruesome triple-murder was discovered,
frustrated authorities suspended the case indefinitely.
Patrol Sergeant Truman Simons, who had been called to the scene
that night, saw the carnage first-hand -- and vowed to find the
ferocious killer or killers. He soon became a man with a mission,
risking his career and his family's safety in search of evidence.
Plunging himself into a netherworld of violence and evil, Simons
finally got close enough to a murderous ringleader to hear his
careless whispers--and ultimately, put him and his three
accomplices behind bars for the brutal slayings.
Now, in his Edgar Award-winning account of the Lake Waco killings,
acclaimed true crime writer Carlton Stowers lays bare the facts
behind the tragic crimes, the twisted predators, and the heroic man
who broke the investigation--with important updated information
based on new developments in the case.
