The Grim Sleeper: The Lost Women of South Central by Christine PelisekMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a fascinating read; well-researched and detailed. "Grim Sleeper" is the media nickname for convicted serial killer Lonnie David Franklin, Jr.,Franklin is responsible for at least ten murders and one attempted murder in Los Angeles. The moniker "Grim Sleeper" arose because he appeared to have taken a 14-year break from his crimes, from 1988 to 2002. This book goes into much detail about this backgrounds of the victims and supposed victims; generally drug-using streetwalkers. Also, there is much detail on the detective team in existence for years trying to resolve the case and the techniques they used.
The LAPD still seeks information on the thousand or so photos discovered in the lair of the predator.
