Revised Edition.
Serial killer Eric Edgar Cooke's secret crimes, the women who survived them and the man still paying the price.
The violent and hate-filled childhood of Eric Edgar Cooke produced a personality unique among serial killers. He stalked the city of Perth, shooting strangers in the dead of night. Unknown to the terror-stricken citizens of Perth, the young father of seven children had for years been doing other sinister night work.
In a remarkable twist of fate, the killer's life tangled with that of 19-year-old John Button, whose 17-year-old girlfriend was killed. Both men confessed to that crime. The investigation into the life and untold crimes of the last man to hang in Western Australia reveals new evidence to indicate that at least one innocent man, John Button, went to jail for one of Cooke's murders.
Winner of the 2001 Ned Kelly Award for Best True Crime Book.
