Beginning in June, 1962, the Boston area was terrorized for 18 months by an elusive serial killer who sexually assaulted and then strangled a succession of women. Boasting that he was the killer and that he had raped an additional 2,000 victims, Albert DeSalvo's horrific story became the subject of a best-selling book and a major Hollywood movie. But it was all a monstrous hoax: DeSalvo was not the Boston Strangler.
In the only definitive book on this subject, Susan Kelly's detailed investigation shows us the true DeSalvo, a twisted pathological liar whose hunger for celebrity made him confess to crimes he did not commit. Kelly also proves that the stranglings were committed by at least eight different slayers. She even names the lead suspects - some of whom may have been getting away with murder for decades.

"The Boston Police and really everyone involved did a horrible job investigating an alarming number of murders. But they were women, so who cares right?" — Beth (4 out of 5 stars)
"The Boston Police and really everyone involved did a horrible job investigating an alarming number of murders. But they were women, so who cares right?"
" Subsequent writings cast doubt on the guilt of Albert DeSalvo, often pointing to George Nassar, convicted two time murderer and a client of F. Lee Bailey who introduced Bailey to DeSalvo. "
" Each and every event and every detail is terrible, grisly killing that you almost cannot imagine, whether a human or a demon created the murder. "
" Got this book in mp3 format, couldn't listen to it and keep up. "
