The Butcher Baker: The Search for Alaskan Serial Killer Robert Hansen

★★★. A page-turning true crime  ★★★

Beautiful Alaska--a peaceful, natural land where you know your neighbors and don't have to lock your doors. For most people, it's the perfect place to experience nature; for Robert Hansen, it was the perfect place for murder.

Between 1980 and 1983, Hansen went on a murderous rampage killing between 17 and 37 women in the Anchorage, Alaska area. Hansen, a small-business owner and pillar of the community, was also an avid hunter, and used young girls as prey when he decided he needed a more challenging hunt. This book is the gripping account of the hunt and eventual capture of an unlikely killer, who almost got away with it.
