''The Green River Killer slaughtered at least fifty women in the Seattle-Portland area during the 1980's and was never brought to justice. Now, in this gripping novel, the bestselling author of The Detective and Die Hard presents his own horrifying portrayal of the Green River killings. River unmasks the Green River Killer and reveals why he was never caught--a story no true crime account has ever been able to tell.'' - from the front flap.
