About this listen

In 1985, Charles Ng and Leonard Lake were spotted shoplifting. Ng escaped, but Lake's capture led police to a concrete bunker in the Sierra Nevada foothills, where they discovered the grisly evidence of an orgy of sex crimes, torture, and murder that claimed at least 16 victims. Lake committed suicide: Ng fled to Canada, where he was tracked down and extradited to California. This 14-year, $10 million legal case was the costliest and longest criminal prosecution in California history.

This is a disturbing case and the author does a good job of covering the detail of the perpetrators and victims, giving context to the crimes themselves. There is a lot of detail, which slowed the pace a bit for me, but I thought the inclusion of information on the legal processes provided new and interesting perspectives.
