In 1982, the body of Wendy Coffield is discovered floating near the sandy shore of Washington’s Green River. Authorities had no idea that this tragic and violent death was only the beginning of a string of murders that would rock and terrify the Seattle area for two decades.
Ann Rule takes readers behind the scenes of the search for the Green River Killer, a terrifying figure who ritualistically killed young women and eluded authorities for years. From seeking the help of incarcerated serial killer Ted Bundy to Rule’s horrifying realization that the killer she was writing about had attended her book signings, the investigation unfolded over nearly two decades.
In this provocative and eye-opening classic of investigative journalism, Ann Rule explores the nearly twenty-year search for one of America’s most prolific serial killers. With her signature riveting prose and in-depth research, Green River, Running Red delivers a gripping account of the crimes and the hunt to catch the killer.
