The definitive story of Charles Starkweather, often considered to be the first mass killer in the modern age of America. It was the first mass killing of the modern age-a precursor of the awakening of the country from the slumber of the fifties to the rebellious, violent sixties. From Starkweather on, people in the Midwest locked their doors. Yet, in spite of this massive exposure, the story has dropped far from the national consciousness. With new material, new reporting, and new conclusions about the possible guilt or innocence of Fugate, the tale is an updated and definitive retelling. 432 pages hc
