Scream at the Sky: Five Texas Murders and One Man's Crusade for Justice

The Pulitzer Prize nominee and two-time Edgar Award-winning author explores a harrowing string of murders that occurred between 1984 and 1985 in Texas, and the efforts of the investigator who reopened the cold-case files 14 years later. Martin's Press. n nAn unsolved murder spree that left a town frozen in fear... nIn rural Texas, just before Christmas in 1984, a young nurse was found raped and murdered in her Wichita Falls home. Within weeks, a second woman was found-her brutalized body dumped in the frozen Texas plains. Over the next seventeen months three more women would fall victim to a faceless evil, fueling the city's fears and baffling authorities whose every lead came to a dead end. For one haunted man the case would never die. n nA fight for justice as cunning and relentless as the killer himself... nAlmost fourteen years to the day of the first murder, ambitious investigator John Little reopened the cold-case files determined to deliver closure to the victims' friends and families, and bring a killer to justice. Working on his instincts, following every imaginable clue, Little embarked on an ingeniously clever and exhaustive cat-and-mouse game to trap an elusive serial killer whose sick fantasies would finally be silenced forever.n
