He Stalked His Victims. . .
A mother and daughter--brutalized, murdered, and left to rot in the summer heat. A young college student--killed with a .38 handgun at a remote highway rest stop. These were just a few of the victims of Timothy Krajcir, a sexual predator with an unquenchable appetite for violence. . .
From State To State. . .
He would travel to towns where nobody knew him, break into a woman's home, and wait for her. It started when he was still in his teens, when a rape conviction landed Krajcir in jail. After that, he spent much of his adult life behind bars for various sex crimes. By the time he was in his early 30s, he was a free man. Free to stalk, rape, and kill.
Three Decades Of Murder And Blood. . .
But in 2007, new DNA testing finally linked Krajcir to another college girl's murder. Ultimately, Krajcir confessed to killing nine women--five in Missouri and four in Illinois and Pennsylvania. But his three-decade reign of terror has never been forgotten--and the full range of his predatory crimes never revealed--until now.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Walker's true-crime account of convicted serial killer and rapist Timothy Krajcir is not nearly as exciting as the title and dramatic cover suggest, told is a style lacking fluidity or finesse. Occasionally, Walker will quote Krajcir at the beginning of the chapter ("I have felt emotional about my victims at times, and I'm not the same person I was thirty-years ago...But I can't say for sure that I wouldn't do anything again."), giving more insight into the killer's twisted mind than Walker's narrative. Walker fails to add any excitement or depth to a case that doesn't stand out for any particular reason, aside from Krajcir's successfully evading capture and conviction for his worst crimes for decades (in 2007, new DNA evidence in 2007 linked him to the murder of a college student). Die-hard true crime fans might want to tag along, but those looking to test the genre will be better off finding another starting point.
