-Titulo Original : I The Creation Of A Serial Killer The Creation Of A Serial Killer
-Fabricante :
St. Martins Press
-Descripcion Original:
From Booklist *Starred Review* Most true crime centers on the investigation of the criminal, both the physical investigation of the crimes themselves and the psychological examination of the criminal mind. Here true-crime master Olsen ups the ante by telling the story from the criminals point of view and mostly in his own words. Taking advantage of unprecedented access to Keith Hunter Jesperson, Oregons notorious Happy Face Killer, Olsen draws heavily on the convicted murderers diaries, interspersing trial testimony and more traditional interviews with the subject. The story opens with Jespersons simple declaration, It was the kind of day that always got me down--windy, gray, boring; later that same boring day, Jesperson commits the first of his alleged 166 murders. For seven chapters, we experience the shape of his days, the mundane, the normal, and the unbelievably gruesome, all described in chillingly matter-of-fact prose. As we follow Jesperson on his path to madness, aided by Olsens commentary, it is easy to detect signs of a psychopath in the making; from his treatment of pets and women to his relationship with his father, Jesperson reveals himself with every seemingly ordinary word. And, yet, nothing is finally explainable, or typical, about either the man or his grotesque deeds. A truly horrifying account of a serial killer, told with shocking candor. Mary Frances WilkensCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Prize-winning journalist Jack Olsen, armed with unprecedented access to one of the most infamous serial killers in American history, provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a murderer in the killers own words . . . In February 1990, Oregon State Police arrested John Sosnovke and Laverne Pavlinac for the vicious rape and murder of Taunja Bennet, a troubled 23-year-old barfly who had suffered mild retardation since birth. Pavlinac had come forth and confessed, implicating her boyfriend and producing physical evidence that linked them to the crime. Authorities closed the case.There was just one problem. They had the wrong people. And the real killer wasnt about to let anyone take credit for his kill. Keith Hunter Jesperson was a long haul truck driver and the murderer of eight women, including Taunja Bennet. As the case wound through police precincts and courts--ending in life sentences for both Sosnovke and Pavlinac--Jesperson began a twisted one man campaign to win their release. To the editors of newspapers and on the walls of highway rest stops, Jesperson scribbled out a series of taunting confessions: I killed Tanya Bennett . . . I beat her to death, raped her and loved it. Yes Im sick, but I enjoy myself too. People took the blame and Im free . . ..Look over your shoulder. I may be closer than you think.At the end of each confession, Jesperson drew a happy face, earning for himself the grisly sobriquet The Happy Face Killer. Based on access to interviews, diaries, court records, and the criminal himself, I: The Creation of a Serial Killer is Jespersons chilling story. It chronicles his evolution from angry child to sociopathic murderer, from tormentor of animals to torturer of women. It is also the story of the fate that befell him after two innocent citizens were imprisoned four years for one of his killings.Edgar Award winner Jack Olsen lets the killer to tell his story in his own words, offering unprecedented insight into the twisted thought process of a serial murderer. Olsen takes his readers along on Jespersons vicious cross-country killing spree, letting him describe how he played his death game with eight innocent victims and how he finally came to grips with the fate he deserved.I: The Creation of a Serial Killer is one of the most revealing and insightful pieces of crime reporting ever published. From Publishers Weekly Veteran true-crime writer Olsen (Salt of the Earth, etc.) takes the profiling of a psychop
