Description
Stevie Cameron's investigative tour de force tells the story of Robert William Pickton, one of North America's most prolific serial killers. Cameron first began following the case in 1998, when reports of missing women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside began to emerge. The investigation was marked by delays and missteps, but ultimately led to Pickton's arrest in 2002 and his conviction in 2008. Cameron's book provides a detailed account of the case, drawing on previously unpublished information from interviews with Pickton, his long-time friend Lisa Yelds, and several women who survived encounters with him. The author also explores the reasons behind law enforcement's initial refusal to believe that a serial killer was at work. This is a gripping and thought-provoking true crime story that sheds new light on one of Canada's most notorious cases.
