Back of the Cover: 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 presdator whose rape and beating all but killed her. But his violence had just begun... Police quickly ound the vehicle in which Mary had been assaulted- a truck wiht a smashed windshield and a blood-smeared intereiour. And it wasn't long befoire its owner- mild-mannered, blue-eyed Tom Luther-p pled quilty and was convicted. But ten years later, the suystem 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 wiht catchins this brutal killer- and pinning at least one Colorado murder on him. But as Luther led Detective Scott Richardsom throught a maze of lies and deception, the stakes began to rigse. From the Rockies to West Virginia, young women were coming face to face with a murderous monster raging our of control. And none of them were coming out alive.


My review: This is a true crime book. I love true crime and read as many cases as I can.. This book made me sad and I really felt sorry for Mary Brown to have undergone such a horrific tragedy only to have the guy released and have to relive it all over again and wonder if he was going to come back and finish the job. I also think that Tom Luther is a low life and should have never been allowed to go free the first time.
