Savage Son

<div>From a bestselling author, a true account of a paroled sex offender&rsquo;s vicious crimes: &ldquo;No one faces evil head-on like Corey Mitchell&rdquo; (Gregg Olsen). On a November night in 1998, in San Luis Obispo, California, college student Rachel Newhouse was walking alone when a stranger appeared. He was wearing a grotesque skull-face Halloween mask. Knocking her unconscious, the attacker threw Newhouse into his pick-up truck and took her to his secluded canyon cabin where he raped her, hog-tied her, then left her to strangle to death. The following March, a stalker who&rsquo;d been shadowing twenty-year-old Aundria Crawford broke into her apartment, pummeled her into insensibility, and carried her away to his hideout. There, she was sexually assaulted, tortured, and murdered. As Californians reacted with panic and outrage to the disappearances, parole officer David Zaragoza paid a visit to one of his charges, Rex Allan Krebs, a violent serial rapist who had served only ten of his twenty-year sentence at Soledad State Prison. After sending Krebs back to jail for violating his parole, Zaragoza made a shocking discovery on the premises: an eight ball keychain belonging to one of the victims. The find would lead to an intensive search of the canyon property, a grisly discovery, and a confession in which Krebs asked, &ldquo;If I am not a monster, then what am I?&rdquo; A jury answered his question in 2001, sentencing him to death by lethal injection. This is the full story from Los Angeles Times&ndash;bestselling author Corey Mitchell, who offers &ldquo;some of the most up-close, incisive true-crime coverage in a long time&rdquo; (Poppy Z. Brite). &ldquo;A front seat on a roller coaster of terror.&rdquo; &mdash;Dennis McDougal, author of Mother&rsquo;s Day</div>

Dead and Buried

<div>The story of a musical prodigy turned serial killer&mdash;including his shocking confession&mdash;is exposed in the L.A. Times bestselling author&rsquo;s true crime classic. To the outside world, Anthony Allen Shore was an average guy: a twice-divorced father who drove a tow truck in suburban Houston. But in his mind he was a superstar. A musical prodigy who never realized his potential, Shore decided to outsmart society by getting away with murder. And he wanted the whole world to know it. After brutally killing a sixteen-year-old girl, he told the local NBC affiliate precisely where to find her body. Eight years passed before DNA evidence caught up with Shore. Subsequent police investigations revealed a violent megalomaniac who had sexually abused his own daughters. He confessed to murdering four females, one only nine years old. And he hinted at many more&mdash;leading authorities to suspect he might be the notorious &ldquo;I-45 Serial Killer.&rdquo; In Strangler, bestselling author Corey Mitchell recounts the case from its twisted beginnings to its chilling conclusion.</div>

Strangler

<div>More victims than Bundy . . .   In Houston, Texas, on a Sunday morning in spring, Coral Eugene Watts trapped two young women in their apartment. Only hours before, he’d killed another woman by drowning her in her bathtub. As Watts attempted to do the same to 20-year-old Lori Lister, her roommate made a daring escape, leading to Watts’s arrest. Watts confessed to thirteen murders, but with no direct evidence, he managed to plea bargain his sentence down to 60 years for burglary. Through the untiring efforts of investigators and the mother of one of his victims, Watts was finally convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, where he remained the prime suspect in dozens of other slayings.   Experts theorized that Watts may have slain more than Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy . . . combined! Bestselling author Corey Mitchell takes us inside the twisted mind of “The Sunday Morning Slasher” and tells the chilling story of how he almost got away with murder.   “Corey Mitchell empathized with crime victims in a unique and personal way. That empathy is evident in every true crime book he wrote.” —Suzy Spencer   “Mitchell nailed the real story.” —City of Houston Mayor’s Office   “Mitchell is the leading voice of true crime.” —Dennis McDougal</div>
