Predator

What made Steven Walker's "Predator" so enthralling was the obvious amount of time he devoted to researching his subject. It's easy to say that crimes like the ones described in "Predator" are evil, but when a skilled author like Walker describes the criminal's past and in fact quotes him and puts him context you see what evil looks like and sounds like. I thought Walker was especially sensitive to the hard and seemingly impossible police and detective work that tied all the clues together and I was particularly impressed with the sympathetic treatment of the victims and their families. "Predator" is extremely well written,reads like a novel and I would like to see Mr. Walker try his hand at fiction again.

I loved this book. Steven Walker does an excellent job detailing the 9 murders that terrified Cape Girardeau Missouri for almost 30 years. I grew up in Cape Girardeau. I remember how everyone was terrified to leave their home. Great read....I couldn't put it down.

"All crime connoisseurs should read Steven Walker's account of this clever and deviant predator." --Katherine Ramsland, author of The Human Predator and The Devil's Dozen
