In a gripping true-crime memoir, an Emmy Award-winning journalist embarks on a quest for closure in a protracted series of crimes and liberation from her own personal demons. On the morning of April 19, 1999, reporter Tamara Leitner awoke to a bustling crime scene right outside her Arizona apartment. Her neighbor, a woman, had been subjected to a sexual assault by Claude Dean Hull II, a serial rapist who evaded capture for decades. This incident marked the beginning of a twenty-year obsession for Tamara to delve into the investigation, driven by a need to challenge a flawed system, understand the lives irrevocably impacted by Hull's crimes, and confront the underlying cause of her fascination with him and his atrocities. Through extensive interviews, befriending, and a deep connection with Hull's survivors, Tamara weaves a unique true-crime narrative that not only exposes the challenges faced by the justice system in assisting victims of sexual violence but also delves into the resilience of these remarkable women, including Tamara herself, as they strive to reclaim their power in the aftermath of profound trauma.
