The Grim Sleeper : the lost women of South Central / Christine Pelisek.

Pelisek, Christine, (author.).

Summary:

n 2006, Christine Pelisek broke the story of a terrifying serial killer who went unchecked in Los Angeles for decades. Two years later, in her cover article for L.A. Weekly, Pelisek dubbed him "The Grim Sleeper" for his long break between murders. The killer preyed on a community devastated by crime and drugs and left behind a trail of bodies―all women of color, all murdered in a similar fashion, and all discarded in the alleys of Los Angeles. Based on extensive interviews, reportage, and information never released to the public, this book captures the long, bumpy road to justice in one of the most startling true crime stories of this generation.
