Overview
For more than two years, a rapist prowled the night streets of the homey, All-American city of Spokane, Washington, terrorizing women, sparking a run on gun stores, and finally causing one newspaper to offer a rewardāthe calls taken by the distinguished managing editor himself, Gordon Coe. In March 1981, luck and inspired police work at last produced an arrest, and Spokane shuddered. The suspect was clean cut and conservativeā¦and Gordon Coeās son.
For eighteen months, Jack Olsen researched the cases of Fred and Ruth Coe to try to learn not only what happened within that family, but how and why. He interviewed more than 150 people and built up a portrait not only of that extraordinary family, but of the mind of a psychopath. And searching the memories of the women in Fred Coeās life, he unearthed a most horrifying question: What is it like to love and live with a man for yearsāand then discover he is a psychopathic criminal?
In this āgruesomely spellbindingā (Glamour) examination of the mind of a psychopath and of the womenāand menāwho were his victims, Olsen delivers āa harrowing portraitā¦It has become fashionable with books about vicious crimes to compare them to Truman Capoteās In Cold Blood. Finally there is a book that deserves the comparisonā (Richmond Times-Dispatch).
