This book has not been rated.

Yes. I am so happy. I am a big fan of the author Gary C. King. If it were not for him and for the fact that his first book Blood Lust was so excellent I might not have been a bookcrosser at all and missed out on the hundreds of English books I've been discovering and reading over the years.

His book was the first English book I bought and read and it was so good I kept on reading English. I know that if it would have been bad I probably would have given up and not read any more English books.

Anyways I asked Gary to send me a copy because I could not get a copy myself. It's already out of print due to a legal technicality on the cover ref to CBS.

It arrived today and he signed it for me!
it says: To Marlene. Thanks for all your Support throughout the years! Best Wishes

From the Back:

His Goal: To Kill an "even Fifty"
They called him "Uncle Willie." At night, Robert "Willie" Pickton visited the streets of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. The women he picked up never came back...

His Methods: Rape And Torture
For years, police built a long list of missing prostitutes, women at the edge of society. Some people claimed there was a serial killer. One detective lost his job for saying so. But investigators didn't have a single body...until someone found a skull sawed in half...

The Pig Farm Murders
On land that had made his family millions, on a squalid pig farm near a school, a condo development and a Starbucks, Robert Pickton ran a house of horrors for decades. Friends, neighbors and community leaders came and went, while Pickton committed debauchery, torture, and bloodletting rivaling the worst on record. What he did to his victims was unspeakable. What he did to the bodies was unimaginable. How he got away with it is the most shocking crime of all...

8 out of 10

Finished it last night (Nov.17) I could not stop reading and was really emerged in the story.

One thing I wasn't too happy about was that in the first few pages you get to know already what happened, when he was caught , (who did it) I always like my books to be in a chronological time order especially in this case cause I did not know anything about it. Besides that I really enjoyed this book. I felt for the victims, was really angry with the cops (and even shocked) and disgusted with that dirty little men. He reminded me of Ed Gein. All in all a page turner. Can't wait for Gary C. King's next book The Murder of Meredith Kercher. (a case I also do not know anything about)
