This book was first published in 1952. It is 2007 and it is still very timely.

Lou Ford is a deputy sheriff somewhere in Texas. Everybody likes him and he is always helpful to others.
In the beginning of the first pages the reader experiences Lous other sides:
Behind all the niceness and helpfulness lurks a sadistic animal whose veins lie in bodily and mental abuse.

The books written out of Lous perspective, the psychopath without mercy for his victims. Based on the events of his youth, the loss of his brother, who took Lous guilt and paid with his life, a hate-love developes particulary against a special type of women.
Lou kills several people and seems to be always under control of himself.
What has to be will be done, is necessary for him. He is confident nobody could possibly do any harm to him.
