For 31 years, an unremarkable family man stalked, killed, and terrorized the people of Wichita, Kansas. He was a devoted husband. A helpful Boy Scout dad. A reliable, conscientious employee. A dependable church president. And behind it all, the notorious serial killer BTK--a self-anointed acronym for "bind, torture, kill." Four award-winning crime reporters for The Wichita Eagle, with the enthusiastic help of Wichita police lieutenant Ken Landwehr and his BTK Task Force, reveal the full horrific tale as seen through the eyes of the killer, his victims, the investigators, and the reporters who covered it all. Based on hours of interviews with key Task Force members, the families of victims, and the killer's brother; and over thirty years' worth of original reporters' notes, archival news stories, photos, documents, and material previously suppressed at the request of the police.--From publisher description.
