Scream at the Sky: Five Texas Murders and One Man's Crusade for Justice - Carlton Stowers

The Pulitzer Prize nominee and two-time Edgar Award-winning author explores a harrowing string of murders that occurred between 1984 and 1985 in Texas, and the efforts of the investigator who reopened the cold-case files 14 years later. Martin's Press. \n \nAn unsolved murder spree that left a town frozen in fear... \nIn rural Texas, just before Christmas in 1984, a young nurse was found raped and murdered in her Wichita Falls home. Within weeks, a second woman was found-her brutalized body dumped in the frozen Texas plains. Over the next seventeen months three more women would fall victim to a faceless evil, fueling the city's fears and baffling authorities whose every lead came to a dead end. For one haunted man the case would never die. \n \nA fight for justice as cunning and relentless as the killer himself... \nAlmost fourteen years to the day of the first murder, ambitious investigator John Little reopened the cold-case files determined to deliver closure to the victims' friends and families, and bring a killer to justice. Working on his instincts, following every imaginable clue, Little embarked on an ingeniously clever and exhaustive cat-and-mouse game to trap an elusive serial killer whose sick fantasies would finally be silenced forever.\n
