Before Charles Manson, there was Tony Costa-the serial killer of
Cape Cod 1969: The hippie scene is vibrant in Provincetown,
Massachusetts. Long-haired teenagers roam the streets, strumming
guitars and preaching about peace and love... and Tony Costa is at
the center of it all. To a certain group of smitten young women, he
is known as Sire-the leader of their counter-culture movement, the
charming man who speaks eloquently and hands out hallucinogenic
drugs like candy. But beneath his benign persona lies a twisted and
uncontrollable rage that threatens to break loose at any moment.
Tony Costa is the most dangerous man on Cape Cod, and no one who
crosses his path is safe. When young women begin to disappear,
Costa's natural charisma and good looks initially protect him from
suspicion. But as the bodies are discovered, the police close in on
him as the key suspect. Meanwhile, up-and-coming local writers Kurt
Vonnegut and Norman Mailer are locked in a desperate race to secure
their legacies as great literary icons-and they both set their
sights on Tony Costa and the drug-soaked hippie culture that he
embodies as their next promising subject, launching independent
investigations that stoke the competitive fires between two of the
greatest American writers. Immersive, unflinching, and shocking,
Helltown is a landmark true crime narrative that transports us back
to the turbulent late 1960s, reveals the secrets of a notorious
serial killer, and unspools the threads connecting Costa, Vonnegut,
and Mailer in the seaside city that played host to horrors unlike
any ever seen before.
