Book Description As a young man, Randall Woodfield had it all--a star athlete, good looks, and an award-winning student. Working in the swinging West Coast bar scene, he had more than his share of women. But he wanted more than just sex. An appetite for unspeakable violent acts led him to cruise the I-5 highway through California to Washington, leaving a trail of victims along the way. As the list of the dead grew, the police mobilized to stop a twisted killer who had 44 known deaths to his name. Praise for Ann Rule: "Vivid...Extraordinary...A page-turner!"-- New York Times Book Review, for Small Sacrifices "Rule has an instinct for suspense, knowing just what information to leak to the reader and when."-- Washington Post Book World, for Small Sacrifices "A shattering story...carefully investigated, written with compassion but also with professional objectivity."-- Seattle Times, for The Stranger Beside Me Reader Reviews 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Chilling, February 27, 2003 Reviewer: A reader from ohio While I find in some of Ann Rule's book she tends too drag, I found this one to be too the point without going over board with gorey details. While the subject matter is disturbing, it is true life crime. Once again Rule shows great compassion for the police and the victims while accurately portraying the rapist/killer without being bias. While this book in some areas, such as a seen with two small children, is graphic, the message is still clear. The victims in this book did not plan on being victims, but were just ordinary women who ran into the wrong man. I think the book, while very chilling shows of the dangers that women face in society and that often times they become innocent victims of crimes. While this is not one of Rule's best work, it is worth reading.
