Brown's account vividly portrays the early warning signs of King's depravity, including his fascination with death, animal cruelty, and a disturbing lack of empathy.

The Dark Descent

As King entered adolescence, his troubled past manifested in increasingly violent behavior. He dropped out of school, became involved in petty crime, and exhibited a reckless disregard for human life.

The Relentless Pursuit

As King's body count mounted, so did the public outcry and police determination to apprehend him. But King proved to be an elusive predator, adept at evading capture. Brown chronicles the tireless efforts of the New Orleans Police Department, led by Detective Bucky Bourgeois, as they meticulously pieced together clues and pursued every lead. Despite numerous close calls, King managed to stay one step ahead of the law.

Brown provides an insider's account of the arrest and interrogation, revealing the chilling details of King's confession and the haunting insights into his twisted mind.
