Ted Bundy, vrah po mém boku – Rule Ann (2022)

A complete portrait of America's most brutal serial killer. The book by writer Ann Rule, Ted Bundy: The Stranger Beside Me, is absolutely unique in its stunning intimacy and horrifyingly denies our assumption that we would, of course, recognize if a monster lived among us, worked beside us, and pretended to be one of us. With a chill that intensifies with each page, we watch as the author gradually realizes that her sensitive coworker from the crisis hotline, Ted Bundy, is actually one of America's most terrifying serial killers. Bundy confessed to killing at least thirty-six young women across the United States and was ultimately sentenced to death in the electric chair for three of those murders. The author draws, among other things, from her correspondence with Bundy, which lasted until shortly before his execution. She manages to balance her deeply personal perspective with her role as a crime reporter in the hunt for the brutal serial killer – the brilliant and charismatic Bundy, whom she thought she knew. Through this unforgettable chronicle of Bundy's life, his case, and their relationship, Ann Rule changed the direction of the true crime literary genre.
