Just when you think this shockingly true story can't get any worse. This book contains all the shocking facts of Jerome Burdo's crimes, along with some twists and turns that I did not see coming.

I did find a typo in the 1st sentence...

Think a man who looks like a big dumb teddy bear can't possibly be a threat to you? Read this book. Think...
