An unsolved murder spree that left a town frozen in fear... In 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. A fight for justice as cunning and relentless as the killer himself... Almost 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.

A liar, a substance abuser, and a man filled with rage, Faryion Wardrip (what a name!), randomly found women to mutilate. The murders were actions of chance, and Faryion simply found and killed whenever the opportunity arose. Some were raped, all were undeserving of the cruel fate that left their bodies discarded and mutilated.
The book focused more on the grief stricken families than the life of Wardrip. For all those years, sisters, grandmothers, fathers, mothers, and friends were haunted by the fact that the killer simply could not be found...Until, Little saw that the girls murdered lived or worked in close proximity of each other.
When caught, Faryion admitted he killed the final woman, a "friend." He thought he could get away with killing the others. When caught, he flippantly noted that there was another woman he killed. She didn't live in Wichita.
If you like to read true crime stories, this is a good book.
One can only guess at what triggered the rage that left five women dead. And, in the end, even if it is know why, it does not change the fact that the girls died young, tragically and their murders were senseless and brutal. ( )
