<div>The &ldquo;fast-paced&rdquo; inside story of the manhunt for bloodsucking serial killer Richard Chase (Publishers Weekly). Written by the case&rsquo;s lead homicide detective, this gripping true crime account details the killing spree of one of California&rsquo;s most gruesome murderers: Richard Chase, aka &ldquo;the Vampire of Sacramento.&rdquo; In January 1978, Sacramento police found the corpse of Teresa Wallin, a loving wife and soon-to-be mother. Veteran detective Lt. Ray Biondi immediately knew the case would be unlike anything he had ever seen before. The victim&rsquo;s body was deliberately disfigured in nightmarish ways, and evidence suggested the culprit had collected large volumes of her blood. In less than a month, a two-year-old boy was missing, and two men, another woman, and a five-year-old child dead, their bodies contorted, like Wallin&rsquo;s, to fulfill the killer&rsquo;s demented sexual desires, and&mdash;most disturbingly&mdash;his taste for human blood. Previously published as The Dracula Killer, A Thirst for Blood is a riveting report of the investigation, from eyewitness testimonies to the discovery of the crime scenes to Chase&rsquo;s interrogation. Lieutenant Biondi and his coauthor, Walt Hecox, provide an unflinching look at the &ldquo;vampire killer&rdquo; and the cunning police work that finally put an end to his reign of terror. The inspiration for Investigation Discovery&rsquo;s Lore: Deadly Obsession and episodes of CSI and Criminal Minds, Chase&rsquo;s crimes continue to haunt the world generations later. </div>
