Murderland - Caroline Fraser - Bog

Two facts: 1) in the 1970s, the Pacific Northwest had the highest percentage of serial killers anywhere; 2) the area had for the previous century been a hub of unregulated industry that ravaged nature and residents alike. Murder: A Memoir is a blend of true crime, memoir, and history, a comprehensive reckoning with the past. It will do something that's never been done before: connect actual murders to huge, slow, environmental crimes. It's not a memoir of one person's life - either Ted Bundy's or Caroline's - so much as a memoir of a vicious time and a deadly place. It will offer a highly specific portrait of an era when life was cheap, and industry, operating without restrictions, trumped all.
