This was a very good true crime book. Carlton Stowers is right up there with Ann Rule. They both write from the heart and put a lot of themselves into a book. This crime takes place in Texas. Several women are raped and murdered. The case goes cold and is reopened 14 years later. A dedicated detective helps solve the case.

Scream at the Sky is an extraordinarily well researched and put together book. This is an excellent account of the crimes, the victims, the investigation, and the families, with insight into each of the personalities involved.

An spell-binding tale of a serial killer in TX that almost got away with 4 murders until a determined DA and a new Investigator used some ingenuity to acquire a DNA sample.

Carlton Stowers does a powerful job at bringing you into the story. It is difficult to put the book down.
An unsolved murder spree that the a town frozen in fear. Many suspects, lives of innocents ruined and a cunning and relentless killer.

A shocking account of four cold cases being solved.
Good writer. Keeps you wondering what is going on here until the end.

This was a very good book, about serial killer Faryion Wardrip. The book covers all aspects of the case without being overly long on the trial (I don't like to feel like I'm reading a trial transcript.) Carlton Stowers is one of my favorite authors...in fact, his Careless Whispers (about the Lake Waco murders) is one of my all-time favorite books. But, I have to say that I liked Patricia Springer's book, Body Hunter, (which is also about Faryion Wardrip), better, because she gave a more descriptive picture of how the murders actually happened.
