Dead Ends - Softcover

In the heart of Florida, Aileen Wuornos embarked on a 12-month killing spree that left seven victims in its wake. Her method always remained the same: she lured her targets with hard-luck stories and sometimes the promise of sex, and then gunned them down with a .22 pistol. A high-school drop-out and a drifter intimate with the criminal violence of a life without boundaries, she fuelled her action with alcohol and mounting rage. Yet she successfully led an intensive police hunt into bloody ends for over a year. This portrait of America's first convicted serial-killer paints a sociopathic, male-dominated world in which Wuornos and her lesbian lover fell victim to her obsessive drive to murder.
