Shadows of Evil


Published by St. Martin's Publishing Group
The classic true crime account of the 1990s case of a California long-haul truck driver turned serial killer who begged to be stopped.

Claiming he’d been sent by God to confess, truck driver Wayne Adam Ford walked into the Humbolt County Sheriff’s Office and admitted to them that he was a serial killer. After police found a gruesome piece of evidence in Ford’s pocket, he told them that he had to be stopped before he killed again, before he murdered his ex-wife, and made his beloved three-year-old son an orphan. Authorities arrested the long-haul trucker and listened in horror to his startling confession . . .

Ford was a long-distance trucker who had traveled fourteen western states. Prowling the highways in his big rig tractor-trailer, he picked up young, vulnerable women and then raped, killed, and dismembered them. He scattered some of their bodies in waterways along the road. He kept parts of others for over a year in the freezer of his trailer home. Learn the shocking truth in Shadows of Evil—a chilling account of madness, depravity, and murder . . .
