**** Green River, Running Red. An exhaustively researched book outlining the attempt to find the Green River killer, the most prolific serial killer of all time. Not a book I would normally choose to read, but it was interesting how this milquetoast individual, Gary Ridgeway, managed to remain under the radar, while killing prostitute after prostitute all Seattle's pick-up highways. Incredible.

*** Starvation Heights. In 1911 two wealthy British heiresses, Claire and Dora Williamson, arrived at a sanitorium in the forests of the Pacific Northwest to undergo the revolutionary “fasting treatment” of Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard. It was supposed to be a holiday for the two sisters, but within a month of arriving at what the locals called Starvation Heights, the women underwent brutal treatments and were emaciated shadows of their former selves. Claire died and Dora escaped with help of a friend from Austrailia. The 2nd half of the book chronicles how Dora persecuted 'Dr.' Hazzard into professional oblivion, using the US legal system.
Gregg Olsen.

**** The Unmasking. An almost unbeliveable tale of how a family man with children, and a pillar of his church, behind the scenes was a serial-rapist, terrorizing a Texas town. A man of two personalities, who fooled everyone, including his wife, at least for a time. Kevin Flynn
