On February 13, 1982, twenty-one-year-old Mary Brown accepted a ride from a handsome, polite stranger in the ski resort town of Breckenridge, Colorado. Hours later, her battered, bloodied body was treated by emergency room doctors who couldn't believe a human being could have inflicted such massive traumatic injuries. Mary would miraculously survive her hellish encounter with the vicious predator whose rape and beating all but killed her. But his violence had just begun...

Police quickly found the vehicle in which Mary had been assaulted—a truck with a smashed windshield and a blood-smeared interior. And it wasn't long before its owner-mild-mannered, blue-eyed Tom Luther-pled guilty and was convicted. But ten years later, the system that should have put Luther away for good released a hardened, more psychotic, and much more dangerous criminal. And this time, he swore his victims would never live to testify against him.

One cop was obsessed with catching this brutal killer-and pinning at least one Colorado murder on him. But as Luther led Detective Scott Richardson through a maze of lies and deception, the stakes began to rise. From the Rockies to West Virginia, young women were coming face to face with a murderous monster raging out of control. And none of them were coming out alive.  Includes 12 Pages of Shocking Photos!
