    About this ebook

    In an update to one of the most astonishing crimes of the Case Files volumes, Ann Rule profiles the criminals that kill without conscience and shatters their crimes without pity.

    In eight stunning Case Files volumes, from A Rose for Her Grave to the #1 blockbuster Last Dance, Last Chance, Ann Rule reigns as "America's best true-crime writer" (Kirkus Reviews). Now, she updates the most astonishing cases from that acclaimed series—and presents shocking, all-new true-crime accounts—in one riveting anthology.

    In every explosive chapter of Without Pity, Ann Rule deepens her unrelenting exploration of the evil that lies behind the perfect facades of heartless killers...and the deadly compulsions of greed and power that shatter their outward trappings of material success.

    They are the admired, trusted neighbor; the affable family man; the sexy, charismatic lover; the high-achieving professional. Perhaps most frightening of all is that they are heroes in their own minds. But when someone gets in the way of their deluded dreams, they are capable of deadly acts of violence with no remorse.

    Analyzing the true nature of the sociopathic mind in chilling detail, Ann Rule traces the murderous crimes of seemingly ordinary men—killers who drew their unsuspecting victims into their twisted worlds with devastating consequences.

    • 5/5
      This lady delivers with her writings on murder crimes. She is the best in this field of writing.
    • 4/5
      Ann Rule is always good. This is an anthology from some of her prior books.
    • 4/5
      Examination of several of Ann's cases. Culled from other books and other writings, these chapters introduce us to chilling murderers and baffling crime scenes. Most have been solved, but not all of them.

      1 person found this helpful

    • 4/5
      In addition to describing these crimes in detail, Rule provides an abundance of historical and geographic context. What struck me the most was the statistic from the 1980s regarding the average length prison time served by people jailed for murder--13 1/2 years. Boy do I hope that average is longer now.
