Between 1982 and 1998, at least 75 young women in the Seattle area were murdered. The police and media dubbed the perpetrator “the Green River Killer,” and after an exhaustive, 19-year investigation, Gary Ridgway was arrested and charged with the crimes. 'Defending Gary' is the first-person, true account by Gary Ridgway’s lead defense attorney, Mark Prothero. The book details the suspenseful story of the author’s search for the truth, his discoveries about the psychological makeup of the killer, his attempts to find justice for his client, and, eventually, his efforts to save Ridgway from execution.
