Green River Killer: A True Detective Story

[Karga]

Another good comic.

-"Terrific. It''s got the scariest opening sequence I''ve read in years, and the novel as a whole makes compelling stay-up-late reading. Great, creepy stuff." - Stephen King -The story of one of America''s most notorious killers is revealed in this true-crime comic unlike any other Green River Killer tells the story of a historical manhunt, and a compelling family saga. Throughout the 1980s, the highest priority of Seattle-area police was the apprehension of the Green River Killer, the man responsible for the murders of dozens of women. But in 1990, with the body count numbering at least forty-eight, the case was put in the hands of a single detective, Tom Jensen. After twenty years, when the killer was finally captured with the help of DNA technology, Jensen and fellow detectives spent 188 days interviewing Gary Leon Ridgway in an effort to learn his most closely held secrets-an epic confrontation with evil that proved as disturbing and surreal as can be imagined. Written by Jensen''s own son, acclaimed entertainment journalist Jeff Jensen, Green River Killer: A True Detective Story presents the ultimate insider''s account of America''s most prolific serial killer. Green River Killer is bound to become a well-recognized member of the crime-genre graphic novel family, including titles like Darwyn Cooke''s The Hunter and Alan Moore''s From Hell.

 THis is a great graphic novel in many ways, but the part I want to mention is: This book shows us that even a serial killer who killed 70+ innocent woman can have a point of view. And those detectives, lawyers who have a closure with him can sometimes be convinced that he is an ordinary, a good family man, a hardworker!
